Southeast Europe energy investment potential exceeds 700 billion euros

A study titled ‘Southeast Europe Energy Review 2025/2026’ by the Institute of Southeast European Energy (IENE) indicates that potential new investments in energy infrastructure in the region could exceed 700 billion euros by 2035.

Presented at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, the report analyzes the energy systems of 16 countries. Experts emphasize that the energy transition must be treated as a collective regional effort rather than isolated national projects to ensure security, accessibility, and sustainability. The study highlights the need for the region to develop the necessary industrial capabilities, skills, and knowledge to retain a significant portion of these investments locally.
