10th annual Balkan Energy Finance Forum & Exhibition 2017 | EEL Events | 4 December 2017 | Metropol Palace Hotel Belgrade, Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 69, Beograd 11000, Serbia

Electricity production in the Western Balkans at the moment is mostly dependent on coal. Despite the fact that all Balkan countries have shown a strong commitment to boost their quota of renewable energy sources by 2020, to reach between 25% and 40% of their energy mix, coal-fired thermal power plants still play the key role in generating the country's energy. Despite improvements in policy and regulatory frameworks, the region is still facing challenges in attracting more investments other than fossil energy projects and this is blocking the full transition to renewable energy and energy efficiency.
