As Southeast Europe intensifies its focus on energy transition, the Renecwable South 2025 conference—held in Mostar on May 7–8—has brought together key stakeholders to address some of the region’s most pressing energy challenges.
With experts from industry, government, and academia convening under one roof, day one of the event has already spotlighted practical innovations in energy efficiency, grid management, and decarbonization strategies.
Among the first to present was Marko Beslać from Alfa Therm d.o.o., who introduced a data-driven framework for energy optimization through continuous high-resolution monitoring. Speaking on behalf of his company’s Energy Management service initiative, Beslać emphasized the value of minute-by-minute measurement in identifying consumption anomalies, validating savings, and maintaining performance standards. Crucially, his talk highlighted a shift toward next-generation solutions—including digital twins and predictive maintenance—which promise to drive long-term efficiency without sacrificing operational reliability.
Ivan Sirovina of Siemens Energy, Croatia, followed with a detailed exploration of power management for micro-grids and hybrid plants, leveraging the company’s Omnivise T3000 system. His presentation underscored the growing role of intelligent control systems in enabling decentralized energy generation, especially for facilities aiming to integrate variable renewables without compromising stability.
Parallel to the technical presentations, a high-level roundtable convened to discuss systemic challenges and future opportunities in the regional energy ecosystem. Moderated by Dinko Đurđević of Green Sustainable Solutions, the session featured contributions from Ivan Andročec (INA, Croatia), Josip Dolić (Association for Green Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Sources), Eldar Hukić (Energy Regulatory Commission of FBiH), and Mirsad Jašarspahić (Chamber of Commerce of FBiH).
The discussion traversed several critical themes: the necessity of establishing an electricity exchange in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the evolving role of hydrogen and energy storage in market stabilization, and lessons from recent large-scale blackouts in Spain and Portugal. With European interconnection and grid modernization under scrutiny, panelists reflected on what it would take for the region to ensure energy resilience while scaling renewables.
Renato Lasić from Alfa Therm and Bojan Pejić from Siemens Energy were also among the welcome delegates, setting a tone of cross-industry collaboration for the rest of the event.
