Technical Assistance to the Implementation of regional coordinated capacity calculation in Western Balkans

The goal of this project is to contribute to an efficient step-wise creation of a regional day-ahead market in the Western Balkans, and its neighbouring countries, in line with the commitment made by WB6 at the 2015 Vienna Western Balkans Summit, to establish a regional electricity market through the implementation of the energy soft measures.
