Projects and territories
Primary countries of interest in SEE region are countries of the south Caucasus and Western Balkans. The portfolio may include selected projects from other European countries.
The region has large unused hydro potential and rapidly increasing local electricity consumption. As the region has the highest growth rate compared to rest of the Europe, it is necessary that new capacities meet this growth in demand. The region is also close to major consumers such as EU countries, Russia and Turkey.
The target investment size will be determined according to the risk balanced in a diversified portfolio. Except for urgent investments in new generation capacities, other priority needs in SEE region are enhancing interconnections, efficiency of power generation, diversification of energy sources, as well as developing a regional market and compatible market rules for the region.
