Another school year has drawn to a close, and the season of vacations and enjoying the summer has begun. We’ve been busy, too. In line with the season, we’ve prepared a new issue of the magazine dedicated to solar energy and essential renewable energy sources.
Solar energy has seen significant development in recent years, with the European Union alone recording a growth rate of over 40 per cent. Globally, countries have set an ambitious goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Regarding Serbia, we have provided an overview of the registers that offer information about connected solar power plants and prosumers in our country. We spoke with Dubravka Đedović Handanović, Serbia’s Minister of Mining and Energy, about the energy transition, investments in renewable energy sources (RES), improving energy efficiency, and support for energy-vulnerable households.
Maribor is the second-largest city in Slovenia and the first in the region to apply all circular economy principles. The mayor, Aleksander Saša Arsenovič, discusses modern technologies, energy efficiency, climate change, sustainable development, and other topics.
We talked about the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the challenges of the energy transition, and plans with Milena Popović Martinelli, Climate Strategy Delivery Principal for the Western Balkans at the EBRD.
The Serbian Electricity Exchange (SEEPEX) has definitively positioned itself not only as a significant stakeholder in the green transition and further liberalization of the electricity market in Serbia but also as an important integrative factor in stock market operations in a broader regional and interregional context.
MT-KOMEX is always ready to take on new challenges when it comes to building solar power plants. After constructing a 50-kW power plant in the Žiča Monastery, they recently completed another solar project in one of Serbia’s most important monasteries – Manasija.
Don’t miss the intriguing stories we bring you in the People and Challenges section. These stories will pique your interest and provide further insights into the world of renewable energy and sustainable development. If you haven’t packed your bags yet, start doing so, and take the magazine with you while you enjoy the warm summer days ahead.
