AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoEnergy & Water Crisis: Record-low Danube levels are forcing power cuts and emergency planning across Central Europe, with Hungary’s Paks nuclear plant reportedly down to a fraction of capacity and Romania moving to import electricity from Ukraine via Moldovan supplier Energocom to stabilize its market. Local Impact in Serbia: Serbia’s Iron Gate hydropower is generating below plan as drought tightens the whole river system, while the same low water is also disrupting navigation and revealing WWII-era wrecks and other relics along the Danube. Climate-Linked Safety Risks: Europe’s heat and drought are also fueling wildfires; in Greece, two firefighting helicopters collided mid-air near Athens, killing crew members and triggering a search-and-rescue operation. Industry Watch (Serbia): Chinese competition is intensifying for Serbia’s auto supply chain as Stellantis’ Kragujevac EV plans face pressure from cheaper, faster-improving Chinese carmakers. Consumer Tech & Everyday Tech: In Serbia, heatwave demand is boosting air-conditioner sales, with Chinese brands dominating installs thanks to perceived reliability and after-sales support.
