CEE Electric Power Sector Report 2025-2026

The 2019-2023 featured the 2020 crisis by the COVID19 pandemic and the shock of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. These two events had an impact on the European electricity sector, as the rise in inflation and the dependence on Russian energy created an energy crisis throughout Europe. The Central and Eastern European (CEE) economies were among those exposed to these shocks. Namely, no CEE country is a large energy producer, with overall high import dependence on conventional energy. Rises in the cost of electricity led to diminishing electricity consumption in 2020 and 2022, with many economies witnessing a recovery only in 2024. These conditions led to sluggish growth, prolonging the recovery period from the COVID19 pandemic and, as of writing in February 2025, are yet to set the stage for an upswing in the sector.
