Which wind and solar power plants will participate in auctions for market premiums, how European manufacturers of wind generators, solar panels and other equipment are fighting with competition from China, and what price of electricity we will pay in the coming period – these are just some of the current topics that will be discussed at the RES SERBIA 2024 conference, which is being held on September 23 and 24 in the Vrdnička Kula ethno complex in Vrdnik.
Due to the substantial public interest, the largest regional conference dedicated to renewable energy sources will be held this year as a two-day series of panel discussions focusing on the most important topics of energy transition in Serbia and the region, novelties coming from auction winners, accomplished results, new investments and technologies, integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity market, electromobility and sustainable development in transport and ESG strategies.
IN FOCUS:
- The Serbian Electricity Exchange Ensures the Highest European Standards
- On the Way to the Energy Transition
- Together for the Preservation of Nauter’s Diversity
According to data collated by the Electric Power Industry of Serbia (EPS), as much as 36 per cent of electricity was generated from renewable energy sources last year, which indicates that Serbia was among the leaders in Europe. Small solar power plants are expanding, with more than 3,000 prosumers occupying about 51 MW of capacity registered in the Prosumer Registry. Extensive research recently conducted by the Association Renewable Energy Sources of Serbia, showed that in just one year, the total power generated by prosumers increased almost four times, which speaks volumes about the popularity of producing electricity for one’s own needs, both among individuals and companies.
These topics will be discussed at the RES SERBIA 20024 conference, which will answer current issues and launch new topics to be discussed. This year, for the fourth consecutive year, the organizers are bringing together global, regional, and domestic experts in green business. Speakers include key stakeholders in the creation of regulatory frameworks, leaders of international financial institutions, leading bankers, directors and owners of green development companies, electricity traders, and legal experts. The RES Serbia Association fulfils its mission of connecting key RES stakeholders in the country and the region. Founded in early 2021 with three founding members, the Association is today a representative voice of the industry and a constructive partner for discussions. It also provides support to state institutions, which all contribute to the creation of a positive regulatory framework and a favorable investment environment.
RES Serbia (OIE Srbija) is the only association in Europe with the EBRD, the European Investment Bank, and the World Bank’s IFC Group as members. Other members include the Electric Power Industry of Serbia (EPS), which announced that it would invest 5.4 billion euros in RES projects by 2030. Other members include the largest wind and solar electricity producers, contractors and equipment sellers, and regional and global giants. To assist each other, the RES Serbia members have opted for EPS as an electricity buyer that will provide a balancing service. Furthermore, projects are financed by the EBRD and banks that sponsor conferences. Members sell their wind generators and equipment to other members, while the Association also has designers, contractors, consultants, brokers, and lawyers as its members.
The RES SERBIA 2024 conference will provide a great opportunity for all of them. Last year, almost 500 participants fortified existing connections and established new contacts, all to develop future RES projects that bring us closer to accomplishing a common goal – a greener Serbia.
