Wolf Theiss is pleased to announce the release of the tenth edition of The Wolf Theiss Guide to Generating Electricity from Renewable Sources in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe for 2024.
This latest edition represents an update to the previous guide published in 2022. It offers current insights into the evolving renewable energy sector within our region.
Against the backdrop of the European Union's ambitious 2030 targets, substantial investment in renewable energy projects, encompassing both generation and storage capabilities, has been observed across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe over the past four years.This investment reflects the region's commitment to transitioning towards sustainable energysources and reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine emphasises Europe's imperative for energy security, prompting an accelerated shift from reliance on imported fossil fuels to a more sustainable dependence on renewable energy sources.The resulting geopolitical tension has served as a catalyst for governments and industries to expedite the adoption of renewable energy solutions, reinforcing the region's commitment to a greener future.
The tenth edition of the Guide meticulously catalogues advancements and technological innovations in renewable energy generation and storage (RESElectricity).The guide also includes a comprehensive section on Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and the recent introduction of Contracts for Difference (CfD) schemes in selected countries, enhancing the bankability of RES-Electricity projects throughout the region. This edition aims to support increased investment in the CEE/SEE region by providing a detailed overview of the pertinent laws and regulations.
