Greenvolt and European Energy have finalised financial deals for solar-plus-storage projects in Denmark and Latvia.

The Serbian Ministry of Energy and Mining has awarded tenders for ten solar and wind projects with a total capacity of 645MW.

A lack of grid infrastructure is a key challenge in Eastern Europe, and was discussed at Large Scale Solar Central Eastern Europe 2024.

Renalfa has acquired a 258MW solar project in Teleorman, Romania, which it expects to start commercial operation in 2027.

Magdalena Hilgner of PLAY explains that projects that deliver power reliably and at a fair price will always be attractive for offtakers.

Serbia has launched its second renewable energy auction, seeking 124.8MW of solar capacity alongside 300MW of wind capacity.

Speakers at LSSCEE 2024 discussed key topics for the Eastern European solar sector, including storage, private investment and risk management.

A more “intelligent” grid in Eastern Europe would be of benefit for the region, according to speakers at Solar Media’s LSSCEE.

Maintaining a varied approach for solar and storage projects could add a valuable aspect of flexibility, according to panelists at LSSCEE.

Structures such as CfDs could be a complement to the nascent PPA market in Eastern European solar, according to speakers at LSSCEE.
