Energy transition in Kosovo, Serbia, North Macedonia 

Kosovo’s energy sector currently finds itself at a critical juncture, grappling with the dual challenges of transitioning towards decarbonisation while addressing the deep-rooted issue of energy poverty. Serbia primarily relies on low-quality lignite for electricity production as nearly 70 per cent of electricity is produced by thermal power plants, this causes huge challenges regarding air pollution. North Macedonia remains highly dependent on coal for supply security, with the main production of electrical energy coming from Bitola and Oslomej/Kičevo thermal power plants.

India’s wind sector regains momentum, but challenges persist

As per the National Institute of Wind Energy estimates, India has immense wind energy potential – about 695.5 GW at 120 metres above the ground level. As of October 31, 2025, India’s installed wind power capacity stands at 53.59 GW. The wind sector is entering a phase of meaningful but measured progress. Momentum is building through hybrids, RTC demand and a strong manufacturing base, yet execution bottlenecks, slow contracting and offshore uncertainties must be resolved for the country to stay on course toward its ambitious 2030 wind capacity target.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Trends in EU: Report

EU has reduced its GHG emissions by more than one-third compared with 1990, while its economy has continued to grow substantially. Renewable energy now supplies a quarter of gross final energy consumption and almost half of electricity, while final energy demand has declined. These developments demonstrate that climate action is delivering and that structural change towards a clean transition is well underway. However, the reality is increasingly sobering as climate impacts intensify.
