OK, I really wanted to find bit more about EE energy sector, and decide to create this rather strange thread...

I'm looking for most powerful Power Plants in your country, (Russia excluded), only EE or CE countries... thanx..

I'm looking at most powerful :

Thermoelectric Power Plants
Nuclear Power Plants
Hydroelectric Power Plants
Wind Power Plants
Solar Power Plants,
Gas and Oil Power Plants...

Thanx,

my interest is to find how countries get there electricity, do they depend on imports of oil and gas, can smaller countries be self sufficient on there own energy supplies, how effective is renewable energy, any comment plz feel free to contribute...
:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

OK to start, I found one in Croatia,
TE Plomin (coal burning plant)

http://www.hep.hr/slike/site/TEPlomin2.jpg

2 Thermoelectric power plants joined in to one massive plant producing 310MW or annual production of 1800GW (about 10% of Croatian Energy consumption) I don't know if it is largest plant in Croatia, but it is one of the largest, looking for few more...

These are most powerful thermoelectric plants of Poland:

Bełchatów - 4,3 GW (http://www.elb.pl/)
Koziennice - 2,6 GW (http://www.elko.com.pl/index2.jsp)
Turów - 2 GW (http://www.eltur.com.pl/)
Dolna Odra - 1,9 GW (http://www.dolnaodra.com.pl/)
Rybnik - 1,6 GW (http://www.elektrownia.rybnik.pl/pl/index.php)
Jaworzno - 1.2 GW (http://www.pl.ej3.pkesa.com/)
Łaziska - 1,1 GW (http://www.ellaz.pl/)

Biggest hydroelectric plants:

Młoty 750 MW (under construction)
Żarnowiec 680 MW (http://www.telefonia.pilicka.net.pl/lokalni/zarnowiec.htm)
Porąbka-Żar 500 MW (http://www.seo.org.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=1)
Żydowo 152 MW (http://www.elektrowniewodne.com.pl/Zydowo.htm)

Wind power plants make only 60MW altogether, but many are under construction.

Poland has built it's first nuclear reactor in 1962, but since one of the few polish natural resources, coal, is available in excess, no nuclear power plants have been built, except few small experimental reactors, of which biggest one is 10MW.

HE Zakučac http://www.hep.hr/slike/HE/HEZakucac.jpg

Hydro-Electric Zakucac is largest HEPP in Croatia, produces 480MW or annually 2020GW of electricity

Croatia has 17 Hydroelectric power plants, 7 Thermo-eclectic power plants, 3 Wind Farms and 1 Solar power plant...
It Owns 50% of Krsko Power plant in Slovenia and owns several Thermoelectric power plants in Bosnia, TE Tuzla and TE Zenica...

Croatia is now seriously thinking of building its own nuclear power plant, and plans to sell its part in Krsko NE plant to finance this new venture, a feasibility study is now under consideration...

Ignalina Nuclear Power plant

building started in 1974, in 1983 december 31st, first block was turned on and started to built 3rd (2nd was u/c at that moment)
1987 september 31st 2nd block started it's work, 60% of 3rd block was already done, but soon lithuania's "Sajudis" for independence started and construction of 3rd block was halted and in 1989 completly shut down

both reactors are RMBK type (same as Chernobyl), each is 1500MW and are most powerful reactors in whole world (although one is already shut down because of pussy's in Western Europe, who know nothing about plant, but the fact that its the same type as Chernobyl, scares the shit out of them), dont know for sure but probably Ignalina is the most powerfull in EE, including Russia

reactor is cooled with water from nearby Druksiai lake (only a small part of it in the picture), which doesnt freeze even in coldest winter's

wow, pablonis, that is a monstrosity, I guess it produces almost all of Lithuania's needs, has Lithuania got any other power plant what happens if this one gets closed?


In Croatia there are now 4 wind farms, with many more planed, 3 are on Island of Pag, Ravine 1 with 7 turbines generating 6MW or 15 GW per year, Novalia 1 and 2 with 17MW output or 45GW annual output, and very large farm just of Dubrovnik with 52.5MW or 120GW annual output... Plans exist for 7-8 more farms in near future.. Croatia has plans to build at least 570 Wind Turbines generating 587MW or 1500GW of annual electricity output (about 7% of Croatian Electricity needs)...

Croatia is one of few European countries which produces electricity through renewable energy source which have little or no environmental damage/impact on local environment and global climate, almost 55% of all Croatian Electricity comes from renewable sources, this is one of the highest ratios in developed country... Croatia also has plans to build 8 more Hydroelectric power plants generating about 2500GW of electricity and at least dozen or so solar plants.

Macedonia has a lot of hydro electric power plants! I think Slovenia will be building a few more too:)

Here is some good info about them http://www.esmak.com.mk/index.php?id=34

Mavrovo hydro power system with its three power plants "Vrutok", `Raven' and "Vrben" is one of the biggest and the most complex system in the Macedonian electric power industry. Within the three hydro units there are 9 generating units installed with an installed capacity of 182 MW, and the annual electricity production which ranges around 500 GWh. This year the system marks its full four decades since the first unit was introduced in HPP"'Vrutok", the employees can be proud of themselves and the` achieved production of 14. 000 GWh.

And for thermal power plants http://www.esmak.com.mk/index.php?id=33

HE "Djerdap 1" -1140 MW
http://www.djerdap.co.yu/hedjerdap1.jpg

HE "Djerdap 2" - 2.500 GWh

Bulgaria has the only Nuke plant that is capable of blowing up the whole region, especially since it's Soviet made :D
It's too bad the EU wants to shut it down, since it was rated one of the safest nuke plants after all the upgrades they've done on it.
But at least we're supposed to have a 2nd Nuke plant by 2010, so I'll be looking forward to that.
The only problems come from Romania, who is afraid our engineers might spill some rakya on the control board and blow them up :D

Serb Republic - HE "Buk Bijela" soon to be U/C

^ I hope our Government won't insist, since everyone here are against it, Montenegrin Govrnment is also against it. It would ruin Tara canyon :(

So: "Pusti rijeku neka teče" :)

wow, pablonis, that is a monstrosity, I guess it produces almost all of Lithuania's needs, has Lithuania got any other power plant what happens if this one gets closed?

it was never working in full power, it was built to produce power to whole western USSR (baltics, Belarus, kaliningrad, western russia), now it produces 80% of lithuania's electricity (although easilly could 100%), also Kaliningrad and most of Latvia and Belarus is relying on energy from Ignalina, which is very cheap, other 20% of Lithuania's are prodused by several big ones and numerous very small ones

Elektrenai plant at the moment is producing only 1/15 of what it could (8 blocks, 6-200 MW 2-300 MW, whole plant 1800 MW),
http://www.lelektrine.lt/elektr2.jpg

Kruonis Plant has four units, each 400Mw, so 1600MW combined; Kaunas HydroPlant is 100.8MW

Kaunas ThermoPlant 170 MW

Mazeikiai thermoplant (300 MW), which serves "Mazeikiu Nafta" (oil refinery), but after upgrade will handle more

also three thermoplants in Vilnius, 100-500 MW

the power of all plants instaled in lithuania combined is really huge - 6.54 GW, and that is first place /per head in Europe, that means in the world too, and Lithuania will remain in top positions, even after closing Ignalina, because of upgrades to old one's and new projects, like Wind farms in Klaipeda region (47 MW now, 700 MW ~2015), third-modern reactor in Ignalina (2015-2020) and few more

The Krško Nuclear Power Plant is a 650 MWe Westinghouse designed 2 Loop Pressurized Water Reactor. This unit is similar to those built at Ginna, Point Beach, Kewaunee, Prairie Island as well as at Angra in Brazil and in the Philippine Islands. The plant, an important electrical power supply source for both Slovenia and Croatia, is located between Ljubljana and Zagreb on the Sava River.

http://www.nucleartourist.com/images/Plant9.gif

and most of Latvia and Belarus is relying on energy from Ignalina,
Wrong - Latvia gets from Ignalina 5 - 10% of its total electrical energy needs. Over the next 10 years we will not need it anymore.
Latvia is developing diversified energy production system, we will not have very large power plants and will not be too much dependant on one kind of energy.

Currently the biggest are:
- Riga 2nd thermal plant - 1 279 MW
- Plavinas hydropowerplant - 869 MW
- Riga 1st thermal plant - 616 MW
- Riga hydropowerplant - 402 MW
- Kegums hydropowerplant - 264 MW
Meanwhile installed wind power plants exceed 50 MW now and will increase fast over the next years, the same about other "alternative" ones.

So Bełchatów is the most powerful in CE.

It's also largest conventional power plant in Europe. Anyone knows if there are larger nuclear plants?

so far yeah, Bełchatów - 4,3 GW , looks biggest...

are there any Wind Farms, Solar or NE plants in Poland?

Poland has coal and water plants. after disaster in 1986 government canceled construction of nuclear plant in Żarnowiec near Gdansk. Now we generate much more electricity we need.

This is a map of the power plants of the largest energy producer (DEH - national company - )

http://www.dei.gr/%28F785FDB70AB083966DEF263685F75933C782218C1B237A6C%29/Images/hartis04.JPG

Greece is second largest producer in EU in coal (lignite) , so many thermal power plants burn coal.

Important contribution comes also from the hydroelectric plants (22 hydroelectric plants total production 3,060 MW (354 MW to be added - plants under construction).

The largest production comes from the region of western macedonia , where there are 6 thermal power plants of total production 4,438 MW.

Among these five the largest are the coal burning power plant of Kardia and Agios Dimitrios , both situated near the city of Kozani :

Kardia power plant (1,250 MW) (coal)

Other major aeolic parks are:

Eastern Crete - 53 MW
South Evia island - 43 MW
Panachaiko (north peloponnese) - 35 MW

Total energy production in Greece from renewable energy sources today (2005) is ~500 MW

If you play Sim City you know all about power plants.

Basicly coal plants are the worst, they produce the most polution, but they pretty cheap and the technolgoy is very easy so anyone canbuild them.

Then you got oil, oil power plants polute slightly less than coal ones and they more expensive to build

Then there is natural gas powerplants, pretty clean but more expensive than oil.

Then there is nuclear plants, very clean, very expensive to build but once it's built it makes LOTS of power.

There is wind power, and solar power, these are very clean but produce very little power, so you need one like for each building which is expensive, obviously they don't work when there's no wind or sun.

Then you got hydro power, is also very clean, it works by the water turning a turbine, like at Niagara falls, but it makes the water acidic so the fish from it areno good to eat.

Then there is fusion power which is still 25 years away...

My favorite: Hydro power

Bosnia (only Bosnian Federation) has 2 Thermo-electric power plants which generate about 65% of Bosnian Electricity consumption,
TE Tuzla - 770MW and 2.200GW (or 2.2TW)
TE Kakanj - 550MW or 1. 800GW (or 1.8TW)

Bosnian Federation also has about 10-12 hydro electricity power plants which generate about 2200GW per year...

Law Firm helps Poland's Largest Power Project Financing Boosts Nation's Energy Supply

25 October - LAWFUEL - The Law News Network - Allen & Overy said today that Poland's largest ever project finance development in the power sector, the EUR550 million Patnow II lignite-fired power plant, is a major boost to the nation's power supply and has secured jobs in the mining and power sectors.

The project, located in Konin, calls for the replacement of two decommissioned generating units with a state-of-the-art power plant.

"The project represents more than five years of hard work by the sponsor to design, develop and finance a next generation power plant for the Polish market. From a wider perspective, the project illustrates the potential for businesses in new accession countries to participate in the international project finance market and demonstrates the ability of sponsors to meet higher environmental and lender standards. It is also a sign of the increasing integration of Poland into the wider European market," said Calvin Walker, partner in Allen & Overy's Project Finance Practice.

The 460MW plant was developed by Zespol Elektrowni Patnow Adamow Konin S.A. ("ZEPAK") through its project company, Elektrownia Patnow II Sp. z o.o.(" Patnow II"). The contractor is SNC-Lavalin of Canada.

Allen & Overy advised the lenders comprising European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Export Development Canada, West LB, Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. and BRE Bank S.A., who provided financing of EUR226.5 million.

This piece of crap haven't been dropped yet ? :eek:

Croatia has 17 Hydroelectric power plants, 7 Thermo-eclectic power plants, 3 Wind Farms and 1 Solar power plant...
It Owns 50% of Krsko Power plant in Slovenia and owns several Thermoelectric power plants in Bosnia, TE Tuzla and TE Zenica...Not true and I am Bosnian and first I heard something like that TE Tuzla and TE Zenica are owned by Croatia? TE Tuzla and TE Zenica are 100 % owned by Bosnian company Elektroprivreda BiH like most of the Federation power centrals and I hope that will stay like that in future. Yes, Federation of BiH export electricity but none of the power central in Federation are privatised or owned by other countries. Government plans to sell that to foreigners but they don't have a support for that from public, so fight will begin soon about that becuase public knows very well that this sector is Bosnian oil. If Croatia owned TE Tuzla and TE Zenica they will have electricity more than they spend so they will not import expensive electricity from US Enron before few years.

Generalni direktori JP Elektroprivreda BiH i Transelektro Group iz Mađarske Enver Kreso i János Guba potpisali su u Sarajevu Ugovor za revitalizaciju kotla bloka 5 - 200 MW u TE Tuzla u vrijednosti 20,9 miliona eura. Planirani početak demontažno montažnih radova je 01. april.2006.godine, a završetak 15. januar. 2007.godine.

Mađarska kompanija dobila je ovaj posao nakon pobjede na međunarodnom tenderu. Ponudila je najbolje tehničke uvjete i prihvatljivu cijenu. Osim ove, na tender su pristigle ponude kompanije Steinmüller i Alstom iz Njemačke, Rafako iz Poljske i konzorcija Ziomar-Interdeks.

TE Zenica and TE Tuzla where built by HEP before the war, from what I understand they are owned by the HEP, unless Croatia handed over this 2 plants, Croatia never imported electricity from Enron, it bought diesel generator in 90's for needs of City of Split, reason being Peruca Dam was damaged during the fighting in 1995, and until repairs where done it was out of commission...

Croatia currently produces about 20% more electricity than it consumes, but Croatian demand for electricity is growing at faster pace country can keep up. country plans to build 7-8 new Hydroelectric power plants (one massive with Hungary -1500MW but there are few problems with this project, of ecological nature), 2-3 Incinerators for needs of Zagreb (150MW), Osijek (50MW) and just outside Karlovac (200MW) for needs of Dalmatia and rest of Croatia, Incinerators burn trash and rubbish and thus generate electricity..

There are 3-4 wind farms currently under construction (combined output about 80MW or 25GW per annum) and plans exist for more alternative plants, such as wave and solar plants and one Nuclear Plant near Sisak, I am hoping they never build NE plant in Croatia, cheaper option would be to build about 1500 Wind Turbines (about 1570€ million) against 2.5€ billion for 1.25GW NE plant, saving of 1 billion for same output...

No Croatia never owned that electric power plants. You know how was in former Yugoslavia. Bosnia must sold cheap electricity to others becuase communist party said something like that, and yes those two EPC have some contracts with Croatian Electric Company but those contract was over long time ago. How we know both TE Tuzla and TE Kakanj were constructed in early 70-s and yes EP BiH and HEP Croatia have some common projects for electricity production but almost all of them are in Bosnia and it was good until break up of the former Yugoslavia becuase all of those contracts were not good for Bosnia. I don't know when those contracts were over but how you see on text what I quoted for you EP BiH invest 20 million in TE Tuzla. But yes EP BiH and HEP have some things what they must clear up. For example power central Busko Jezero. They invested together money in that project and they constructed the biggest man made lake in Europe (40 km), Busko Jezero (Lake), but only who gets electricity from that power central after war in Bosnia is Croatia because some corupted Bosnian Croat politicans just give like that the biggest man made lake which is in Bosnia to Croatian Electric Company HEP? That is illegal and soon after reconstruction of electric sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina they will deal with that. Also they will deal with Serbia in some cases becuase some of them are also not clear? International community in Bosnia plans to connect all electric companies in Bosnia in one company and than give that to foreigners?

(http://www.hsp1861.hr/vijesti/200721di.htm)


Yes you are right, it was in 1999 and 2000, ENRON wanted to build 250MW Power Plant in Jertkovac , near Zagreb, and sell electricity to Croatia at 45% higher prices than anywhere in Europe (for 20 years), this deal was signed between Tudman And Enron in late 1998, when new Government (Ivica Racan SPD) got elected they cancelled the deal and Enron was asked to F**k off from Croatia, Bechtel was also asked to F**k off by the same government in 2003 after they complete there contract agreed by Tudjman government in 1999...

Bechtel and Enron for those who don't know are scavenging evil, despicable, filthy and arrogant thieves who go to developing countries or countries that have just recovered from war to rip of countries all under the disguise of foreign investment and freedom and spreading of democracy, what they are, is evil companies who blackmail smaller weaker countries in to accepting there outrageously expensive loans and than call it good and important deal for countries they operate in, contracts are far from it, imagine devil, and and this is what Monsanto, Dyno Corp, Bechtel, Enron and alike are, they are rip off merchants who try to steal what little you got, this are companies which would steel hungry baby's milk bottle on grounds water is cheaper...


BTW, ENRON has gone bust in 2003...

OH forgot, Enron sold some electricity in 1999 and 2000 by giving (lease 1999-2000) large floating diesel generator to City of Split, price even than was 90% higher than in reset of Croatia for each KW...

Enron has gone bust, Croatia never paid them a cent, and Enron has filed petition in US federal court to recover some money, EU has intervened and reported Enron to World Trade Organisation and case is being prepared against US for anticompetitive methods and specifically US Government and its Diplomatic core which often operates as US Corporate PR spin machine...

As a result of Croatian case Bechtel, Enron and few other US corporations where blacklisted by EU, Enron European offices was closed in 2003, Greece has some issues with Enron to and they might sue the company as well...

There is also one in Serbian Republic . On river Drina, Visegrad. I dont know if I can find any images.

What I really want to know how much oil is required for TE Plant to generate 1MW of electricity?

Imagine you have small town on Moon say (it is irrelevant where it is located) town should be self sufficient, including generating electricity, how much would it take to say generate 1MW of electricity, if town was say in Europe not far from coast, it would need 2 Wind Turbines to generate more than enough electricity (1.7MW) for all its needs, but I do wonder how much oil is required to generate 1MW of electricity?

Anyone?

As a result of Croatian case Bechtel, Enron and few other US corporations where blacklisted by EU, Enron European offices was closed in 2003, Greece has some issues with Enron to and they might sue the company as well...I don't know where you heard that information about Bechtel but that is total untrue. Bechtel this year finished last section of the highway from Zagreb to Split in Lika, also they construct or will construct highway in Romania and Bulgaria, they will be on international tender for construction of the Coridor Vc in Bosnia and Herzegovina in January 2006 so I don't know how they are on black list? Those are Bechtel projects in Europe just what I heard about them. I am sure that they have a dosens more projects in Europe.

There is also one in Serbian Republic . On river Drina, Visegrad. I dont know if I can find any images.

Sorry i dont know for contry named Serbian Republic in Drina region ? Anyway contries bordering Drina are BiH and SCG.

BiH? The same "country" from which 20.000+ football fans came to Belgrade a few days ago, to cheer AGAINST it?;)

Bechtel has no projects in EU and one in Romania is no more, do research on it, EU reprimanded Romania for this was one of the biggest corruption affairs to hit Romania in recent times...

And Bechtel are rip off merchant same as ENRON and alike..

About Croatian motorway, Lika motorway section was completed last year and Bechtel was asked to leave afterward, never to return...

When I have more time I'll go in to more details, no time now...

Okies, let me update this bit...

Bechtel was awarded contract to build section of Croatian motorways ( Karlovac- Sveti Rok Section 136km long) contract was valued at 5billion Kuna by Croatian firms but Tudjman agreed on 6.5 billion Kuna with Bechtel (excluding any tunnels or viaducts)...

If you wonder why was this, it was bc Bechtel used dirty tactics to win the contract by promising all kinds of things, in the end Bechtel was not able to complete project on time and on cost, Croatia had to pay in all 9 billion Kuna for section of 145km (136+9km in viaducts and tunnels)...
When project was completed and quality of workmanship was way bellow what was excepted from US company and way below EU standards, much so Croatia had to spend another 500 million Kuna on repair Bechtel's mistakes...

Motorway was finally put in to full use in April 2005, a full year after it suppose to be finished..
Bechtel than blackmailed Croatian government in 2004, to give them another 96km of motorways (section between Split and Ploce), they promised all kinds of things and favors, but this time EU intervened and told Bechtel to f**k off, Croatian Foreign Minster at the time M. Zuzul had to resign as he was implicated in the affair .

Bechtel is no longer welcomed in Croatia, they tried same thing in Romania with all kinds of scams and lies, I won't go in to details, but you'd be advised to check Romanian press about the affairs which claimed Romanian PM and several other ministers... Suffice to say Bechtel is not welcomed in EU as a result...

If Bechtel is trying to do same in Bosnia, I only say God help Bosnia...

That's the one KM. I learned to swim in Drina .KM thanks for the picture. I just wanted to say Eastern Bosnia ,Visegrad region. I was born 20 kilometers away from that power plant.

any latest news ? U can use this thread to post information on Energy Sector as well, actually I'll have this thread moved to general EE forum...

lol, I got it ;)

thanx, any news in energy sector, as well as technology, new infrastructure related to energy sector this is the thread to post info, thanx, now I'm sorry I named this thread most powerful power plants, should be power plants in EE...

wth, you all know what this thread is all about hopeful you'll all come with great stuff as you did thus far, thanx again...

Are the powerlines leaving Zaporizka Nuclear Power Plant designed for a voltage of 750kV?

Sometimes there are electrical pylons from unconventional design in the neighbourhood of some power stations?

Here are some examples:

Characteristic - Nuclear power plant Bohunice

The plant Atómové elektrárne Bohunice is located in Western Slovakia, near the town of Trnava. Electricity is generated here in four 440 MW units that had gradually been connected to the power network over the period between 1978 and 1985. In the construction of the nuclear power plants V1 and V2 the world´s most widespread concept of pressurised water reactors was adopted and the Soviet-era design WWER 440 used.

At Slovenské elektrárne, a.s., the nuclear power plants V1 and V2 in Jaslovské Bohunice rank among the most reliable and cost-effective electricity generation sources. Atómové elektrárne Bohunice makes a 25% or so contribution to Slovenské elektrárne, a.s., installed capacity, as it does some 40% to Slovenské elektrárne, a.s., overall electricity generation. These run in PS under the basic mode and their annual electricity generation averages about 12,000 GWh.

Upon development of the system for central heat supply to the town of Trnava from Atómové elektrárne Bohunice, V2 has switched to co-generation. Also part of this system is a heat feeder line commissioned in 1987. Commissioned in 1997, the heat feeder line to Leopoldov and Hlohovec is also designed by means of a branch from the line part of the Trnava heat feeder line.

Characteristic - Nuclear power plant Mochovce

In the south of Slovakia, in between the towns of Nitra and Levice, there are located four units of the Mochovce nuclear power plant featuring pressurised water reactors WWER 440/V 213 with an output of 440 MWe each. The utility´s Unit 1 has supplied electricity to the network since the summer of 1998, as has Unit 2 since the late 1999. Completion of Units 3 and 4 has temporarily been suspended. Each SE-EMO unit generates about 3,000 MWh of electricity annually, which covers nearly 10% of Slovakia´s electricity demand.



The Mochovce units rank among the newest nuclear blocks WWER 440/V 213 and benefit from all of the improvements already made at the plant. International expert teams have agreed that, once the safety measures are in place, the plant complies with all the international standards and nuclear safety levels, assessing its reliability as extremely high.

Very good information, alien, let me just add, that Jaslovské Bohunice is planned to put on a hold in 2006 and 2008 from security reasons.
We have to put it on a hold, because we are obliged to do that. Moreover, in the EU budget the money allocated to SVK allows to put this matter smoothly.
Mochovce on the other hand is a good power plant. A substitution for Bohunice power plant, but possibly most secure and with a good energy output should be necessary to construct.

wow...this marica-iztok sure looks huge!

It's perhaps the largest commie industrial complex here. Marica-Iztok 1 is actually known as Brikel - which is a 200 MW coal plant with a factory for producing compressed blocks of coal fuel. The US company of AES is building a new coal plant there, 670MW. There are also huge lignite coal deposits there and many mines that dig them. The coal they dig is burned in the power plants. And there are factories for industrial construction and maintenaince there. The total number of people employed in the whole complex is 25.000 and it gives 30-40% of the Bulgaria's power output. So, at least for Bulgaria it's quite a huge thing :)

Albanias total hidropower totals 3500 mv.Its in use 40%. The rest needs to be build. The goverment is trying to build them with consessions but its hard to find investors. Around 2 bill dollars or more needed to build them. I think the richest place in energy in ballkan region is Kosova. It has 15-20 bill tons of lignites. Worth 500-750 bill dollars.The data about Kosova coal is from a serbian source.It might be inflated. Not sure.But I am sure about Albanian hidropower.Its from goverment sources.

This is where Bulgaria is going. Wind power has become very popular and there are several major projects going on with German and Japanese investors putting money into constructing wind power farms on the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast.

The picture below was taken today by a Romanian tourist visiting the Bulgarian coast:
