The energy transition in Serbia has become a key issue in the last few years, especially after the significant increase in the capacity of renewable energy sources (RES). Although Serbia managed to almost double these capacities compared to 2022, it still lags behind many countries in the region.
To clarify the causes of this backlog, we spoke with Jovan Rajić, founder of the Regulatory Institute for Renewable Energy and Environment (RERI) and head of the legal team, who revealed to us the key challenges of the energy transition and the importance of the steps needed to achieve the goals.
Achieving the goals of the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (INEKP) should contribute to greater energy security, environmental protection, modernization of the energy sector, and improvement of citizens’ quality of life. Veljko Kovačević, PhD, State Secretary in the Ministry of Mining and Energy, explains in detail what this plan brings for Serbia and how it will improve the energy sector.
Dušan Živković, general director of Elektroprivreda Srbije, talks about the realization of key projects of wind and solar power plants, their financing, the modernization of hydropower plants, the strategic project of HPP Bistrica, and new investments and projects that will shape the future of Serbian energy.
For the Energy Portal Magazine, Maja Pupovac, PhD, research associate at the Institute of Philosophy and Social Theory of the University of Belgrade and a member of the Laboratory for Active Citizenship and Democratic Innovation, wrote her opinion on how to ensure that the transition to renewable energy sources does not deepen existing inequalities but instead becomes an opportunity to create a fairer and more inclusive society.
The company Charge&GO, a leader in the development of e-mobility, significan tly contributes to the expansion of the network of chargers, not only in urban are as but also on key roads, thus facilitating the transition to electric vehicles. Energy independence is becoming increasingly important for modern companies, so many owners have decided to build solar power plants to provide a stable energy source for their businesses. This issue reveals where the MT-KOMEX company implemented its latest solar power plant project. This investment not only contributes to reducing costs and increasing energy efficiency but also helps achieve sustainable development goals.
We have prepared inspiring texts and in-depth analyses that will help you better understand all aspects of the energy transition and its importance for our future.
