| Conference: South East Europe Renewable Energy 2010 |
| | From the Conference Organizers: As the liberalisation of Turkey’s energy markets continues, a strong interest from the private sector has developed. Bulgaria is also experiencing a surge of renewable energy development. High feed-in tariffs make for a keen market to invest in; however, regulation must be revised in order for full market deployment of renewables.
Serbia has a very strong potential to develop its renewable energy market and legislation is being adopted to bring attraction to this market. For this reason, Serbia could become a market example for the rest of the Western Balkans to follow.
