Tirana, 14 October 2025 – The Green for Growth Fund (GGF), supported by the European Union’s €20 million investment to accelerate climate action in Southeast Europe, is advancing a new wave of renewable energy and storage projects across the Western Balkans.
The Fund has signed a Mandate Letter with Renalfa IPP for a 200 MWh battery energy storage system at the Oslomej solar complex in North Macedonia, part of the Western Balkans Investment Framework’s priority pipeline.

In Kosovo, GGF agreed on a Term Sheet with Quant Renewables for up to €12 million in preferred equity for the 142 MWp Tucep–Veriq solar project, transforming former lignite sites into clean power generation.

In Albania, the Fund signed a Letter of Intent with HD Solar Park sh.p.k for up to €30 million to finance one of the country’s first large-scale solar-plus-storage projects.
These initiatives expand renewable generation, enhance grid flexibility, and strengthen energy security, supporting the region’s transition away from coal and toward a low-carbon future.
Through these investments, the GGF is pioneering green infrastructure that combines renewable energy with battery storage, advancing the goals of the European Green Deal and enabling a more resilient energy system for the Western Balkans.
