Commercial Prosumers as Catalysts for Solar PV Adoption in South East Europe

The solar PV market in the South East Europe (SEE) region is on the cusp of a significant transformation, driven by a combination of factors including stronger project economics, the improved availability of financing, as well as rising electricity and carbon prices. Overarching these local market dynamics, there is the increasingly urgent imperative to decarbonize the electricity mix in the region.

This analysis by E3 Analytics and Agora Energiewende under the project South East Europe Energy Transition Dialogue focuses on the rise of commercial prosumers in four countries across the region: Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Romania. While each country has a different electricity market and faces unique challenges, the economic fundamentals of customer-sited solar PV investments have entered a promising new phase.
