The study covers all 15 countries in the region: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey.
In addition, the present “Outlook” provides energy information on a number of peripheral countries including Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Moldova, Ukraine, Slovakia, Austria, Azerbaijan and Italy which are economically and geographically related SE European core countries. This is the third time that such a major study has been undertaken by IENE with the first one published in 2011. The study contains substantial comparative data, detailed sectorial analysis, and energy demand and production estimates and projections. Through a series of introductory chapters, where the economic and political background together with the key energy policy issues of South East Europe are presented, the study examines the impact of the regional integration process and energy competition issues on SE Europe’s energy prospects. EU’s decarbonization policy and the Green Deal are also discussed at length in relation to needed investment but also in terms of energy security.
