Serbia
In Serbia, the National Renewable Energy Action Plan set targets of renewable energy sources use until 2020, as well as the pathway to achieve them. Among other things, it enhances
The two largest power plants in Serbia, the hydroelectric power plant HPP Đerdap I at the Danube river and the coal power plant TENT, went into operation in 1970. Twelve years later, the pumped storage plant Bajina Bašta was built, and in 1990 the hydroelectric power station Pirot was put into operation.
Energy in Serbia is dominated by fossil fuels, despite the public preference for renewable energy. In 2021 Serbia's total energy supply was almost 700 PJ, with the energy mix comprising coal (45%), oil (24%), gas (15%), and renewables (16%).
Through its fully subscribed feed-in tariff program (long-term contracts which provide guaranteed pricing to renewable producers), Serbia has contracted 568 MW of wind power plants and approximately 11 MW of solar plants.
Factors driving the renewable trend in Serbia include EU accession-related requirements for Serbia to decrease thermal power generation and Serbia's commitments under the Energy Community Treaty and the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
