With talks of blockchain-enabled energy certificates and AI-driven subsidy allocation in 2026 policy drafts, Belgrade''s storage sector shows no signs of slowing down.
The recent legislative changes have enabled the Government of Serbia and the MoE to initiate two essential processes aimed at fostering the growth of renewable energy projects
As a first step, in August 2023, the Serbian Government published a public call for a strategic partner to develop a 1 gigawatt (GW) solar PV power plant, together with a minimum

One of the key benefits of developing renewable energy projects in Serbia is the potential to generate carbon credits. These credits are a form of tradable certificate that
Second, on 14 June 2023, the MoE published the first-ever public call for auctions to award the right to market premiums for 400 MW of wind and 50MW of solar projects in Serbia. Bids are to be submitted by 14 August 2023. The maximum offered price is EUR 105/MWh for wind projects and EUR 90/MWh for solar projects.
Serbia heavily subsidizes coal and electricity prices, inhibiting competition. Recently, the Serbian government and EPS have announced ambitious plans to transition to green energy solutions and reduce Serbia’s dependence on Russian natural gas.
First, on 4 May 2023, the Government of Serbia initiated the procedure for selecting a strategic partner for the construction of 1 GW of self-balancing solar power plants to be owned and operated by the state-owned power utility EPS a.d. Beograd. The public call is expected to be published in the early summer of this year.
Only through strategic partnership and auctions (if successfully implemented) is Serbia expected to reach a capacity of more than 2.3 GW of new solar and wind power production facilities in the years ahead. Additionally, there are many projects developing on a commercial basis that do not count on incentives.
Serbia is interested in a developing a Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH) project at Djerdap. The project is located east of Belgrade on the Danube River bordering with Romania. First conceived in 1974, Djerdap III is envisioned as a facility capable of daily and seasonal water regulation, with installed capacity of between 1800 and 2400 MW.
The greatest potential of wind energy in Serbia is in the area of the powerful “košava” winds such as South Banat and East Serbia, as well as on the eastern side of Kopaonik Mountain, Zlatibor, Pester, and mountain passes at altitudes above 800m; as well as in the valleys of the Danube, Sava and Morava.
