Hoćemo li se nasukati?
Dani | April 3, 2015Zapadni Balkan će do 2024. godine imati 56 posto viška električne energije, zbog čega postoji opasnost od nasukanih sredstava – nasukanih elektrana, upozorava Studija Univerziteta u Groningenu.

Autori studije pišu da zemlje imaju ambicije da postanu izvoznici energije, ali upozoravaju da bi lokalne vlade morale uzeti u obzir razvoj događaja u susjednim zemljama koji bi novoplanirane energetske objekte učinile ekonomski neodrživim, kaže se u analizi koja je u posjedu redakcije SEEbiza.
