Alcazar Energy, a leading renewable energy investor, announced a significant commitment of €1 billion towards renewable projects in the Western Balkans at Energy Week Western Balkans 2024. This investment is set to fund wind and solar initiatives in Montenegro, Macedonia, and Serbia, creating a considerable economic impact through thousands of new jobs and an increased renewable energy supply. Alcazar’s Co-founder and Managing Partner Daniel Calderon expressed confidence in the region’s potential to become a powerhouse of green energy.
Calderon highlighted that the Western Balkans is poised for up to €34 billion in foreign direct investment over the next decade, with Alcazar’s €1 billion serving as a catalyst for this growth. The company’s recent acquisitions include substantial wind and solar projects across the region, some of which will break ground next year. These initiatives reflect Alcazar’s dedication to transforming high-growth markets by funding large-scale renewable energy projects aligned with local and regional needs.
Alcazar’s long-term goal is to create over a gigawatt of renewable capacity in the Western Balkans, helping the region meet its ambitious climate targets. The company’s presence at Energy Week Western Balkans 2024 emphasised its commitment to partnering with local governments and communities. This investment not only supports the Western Balkans’ green transition but also strengthens its economic position by expanding sustainable energy infrastructure and capabilities.
