SloveniaAlfi Renewables, the largest Slovenian investor in solar and wind energy in the region, has chosen not to invest directly in Slovenia due to lengthy procedures for site placement and obtaining permits. Instead, they have invested in Serbia, Croatia, Romania, and Bulgaria. The company faces challenges such as negative electricity prices during sunny days, which they mitigate by entering long-term sales agreements for electricity or using battery storage to sell power at higher prices in the evening. Alfi Renewables manages the Alfi Green fund, collecting investors' money to develop and build solar and wind farms while providing returns. They have completed their first investment phase, planning to install approximately 330 MW of capacity, including a 106 MW wind farm in Krivača. Despite ambitious plans for over 2000 MW of projects by 2030, they acknowledge the scale sounds unrealistic compared to existing capacities like HSE’s. However, they remain realistic and expect to launch a second fund after completing the first.
