How many renewable power plants does Serbia need?

In order to replace all of its coal-fired plants, with a combined installed capacity of 4,400 MW, Serbia needs to build 8,000-10,000 MW of wind, solar, and hydro power plants. However, to reach the greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050, it is necessary to build a total of 21,000-22,000 MW of renewable capacity, the document reads.

What type of energy is used in Serbia?

Energy in Serbia is dominated by fossil fuels, despite the public preference for renewable energy. Serbia's Total Energy Supply is almost 700 PJ, with the energy mix in 2021 comprising coal (45%), oil (24%), gas (15%), and renewables (16%).

What is energy security of Serbia?

The document, titled Energy Security of Serbia, lists short-term and long-term solutions for all segments of the energy sector, aimed at achieving strategic goals such as energy security, the security of supply, the energy efficiency of buildings, a just energy transition, and decarbonization by 2050.

How will Serbia implement the energy transition?

Serbia plans to build solar power plants, wind farms, and pumped-storage hydropower plants, but also gas-fired power plants, energy storage batteries, and hydrogen facilities, in order to implement the energy transition. Coal-fired power plants would be closed by 2050, but not before there is enough green power capacity to replace them.

How many MW of electricity does Serbia have?

Installed capacity of hydro power is 2,835 MW and as of December 2019 wind power capacity is 500 MW. Serbia also makes use of geothermal and solar energy, currently 27% of Serbia's electricity comes from hydro while 4% comes from other renewables. Additional 600 MW of wind capacity is planned by 2030.

What are the two largest power plants in Serbia?

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.
