WB6 IIP

Western Balkans Six

Investment Incentives Platform


The Western Balkans Six Investment Incentive Platform is the first of its kind in the region, providing detailed information on available incentives in each of the WB6. It is one of the key measures under the Regional Investment Area, which is part of the Common Regional Market Action Plan 2021-2024.

Developed with input from Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) across the region, the platform includes both financial and non-financial incentives, categorized by type, sector, and target audience.

It provides comprehensive information for investors looking to invest in the WB6. As an evolving resource, the platform will be updated every six months to ensure it remains current and relevant.

Legal reference
law section / article
Art. 23 Nr. 2 Regulation on Incentive Measures, Art. 4 Regulation on Incentive Measures
The amount of the feed-in tariff is determined in Art. 4 of the Regulation on Incentive Measures and it depends on the technology, the total installed capacity as well as the maximum operation time. The maximum annual operation time is established for each technology as the number of operating hours in the year, except for wind technology where the maximum annual operation time refers to the quarter of the incentive period. For each additional period of power production which exceeds the defined maximum operation, the guaranteed supplier pays the producer 35% of the valid feed-in tariff (Art. 4 Incentive Decree). The temporary privileged producer has the right to be paid 50% of the feed-in tariff for electricity produced before the start of the incentive period (Art. 4 Incentive Decree). Due to the inflation in the Eurozone, the feed-in tariffs are annually adjusted for inflation based on the formula laid down in Art. 6. of the Regulation on Incentive Measures.
