Infrastructure and energy development continues across the Balkans, focusing on renewable energy, hydroelectricity, and utility management. In Serbia, renewable capacity has expanded through the revitalization of the Bajina Bašta hydroelectric ~~plant~~ plant, which returned to a full capacity of 614 MW, and the launch of the Čibuk 2 wind farm. The Čibuk complex, involving Masdar and Taaleri Energia, is now the largest in the Western Balkans. Solar investments include a 30 MWp plant in Vojvodina equipped with battery storage, and the planned 200 MW ‘Equinox Power’ hybrid complex. To bolster energy security, Serbia is increasing coal production. At the Radljevo mine, a new ~~large-scale excavator and a second stacker are~~ equipment is being ~~utilized~~ used to reach an annual ~~production~~ goal of seven million tons. The Ministry of Mining and Energy confirmed that heating plants in Obrenovac, Kostolac, and Požarevac are prepared for the ~~season, with a boiler at the Kolubara thermal power plant returned to operation.~~ season. In Croatia, ~~Hrvatska elektroprivreda (HEP) has begun an environmental impact assessment for the 160 MW Vinodol reversible hydroelectric plant. However, the Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA)~~ HERA has approved new tariff rates for guaranteed electricity supply for businesses, effective November ~~1, with~~ 1. While households are unaffected, some large customers ~~facing~~ face hikes of 132 to 167 percent. To support the green transition, the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund has announced 38 million euros in subsidies for solar installations and battery systems. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (ERS) is considering electricity and network fee increases of up to 50 percent to manage debt and import costs. ~~Experts also note that billions of marks may be required to modernize~~ Despite this, the ~~power grid for renewable integration.~~ RiTE Gacko thermal plant has exceeded production plans by 40 percent this year.

In Slovenia, the Prapretno solar plant, located on a former ash disposal site, has reached a capacity of 9.8 MW through expansion phases co-financed by the EU.
