Serbia has taken a bold step toward renewable energy with a newly signed agreement to build 1 GW of self-balancing solar power plants. This groundbreaking project, led by the Hyundai Engineering and UGT Renewables consortium, marks a significant shift in Serbia''s energy strategy.
Serbia has already made progress in the application of solar thermal: Pančevo hosts the Balkan region''s largest solar thermal system. The city intends, with the help of the EBRD, to install another new solar thermal plant on 10 hectares, and it should be built by Austria-based SOLID Solar Energy Systems GmbH .
Specifically for Serbia, country factsheet has been elaborated, including the information on solar resource and PV power potential country statistics, seasonal electricity generation variations, LCOE estimates and cross-correlation with the relevant socio-economic indicators.
The resulting study is a map overlaying solar development potential with impact potential, as well as a selection of the 100 best sites for solar development according to both criteria, with an estimated installed capacity of
The resulting study is a map overlaying solar development potential with impact potential, as well as a selection of the 100 best sites for solar development according to both criteria, with an estimated installed capacity of 10 MW each. We estimate that 200,000—or 10%—of Serbian households could be powered from the 100 selected sites

Serbia, a country located in Southeast Europe, has abundant potential for solar energy due to its geographical location and climate. As a result, building and operating a solar power plant in Serbia is an attractive option for investors looking to tap into the country''s renewable energy market.

International environmental organization The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and a wide group of local partners have completed the project ''Smart Planning for Sustainable Development – Mapping Solar Potentials in Serbia''. It mapped 100 most suitable locations for solar power plants. In addition to the goal of accelerating the development of
The key motivation behind the mapping of Serbia''s solar potential is to accelerate the sustainable use of solar energy in the country, thus providing significant support to the energy transition and energy security of Serbia, and helping tackle the current energy crisis, according to The Nature Conservancy.
The agreement commits six new solar plants to be built across Serbia. The Serbian government approved the proposed sites in September. The largest in the deal is a 460 MW facility in the
For Serbia, this project means more than just meeting renewable energy goals. It promises energy independence, economic stability, and a sustainable energy supply. By creating a network of self-balancing solar plants, Serbia strengthens its energy security, attracts green investments, and aligns with global environmental standards.
Solar energy offers a practical, scalable solution for diversifying energy sources. This shift to solar not only benefits the environment but also strengthens the economy by fostering a local green energy supply. Serbian industries can rely on this domestic energy source, cutting down on costs tied to fossil fuel imports.

The Ministry of Mining and Energy and EPS (Elektroprivreda Srbije) partnered with Hyundai Engineering and UGT Renewables to drive this project. Serbia will soon see six large solar plants strategically positioned across the country. Key locations include Negotin, Zaječar, and Bošnjace.
1 GW Solar Power Project in Serbia, set to transform the country's renewable energy landscape and boost sustainability efforts.
The total installed capacity of state-owned projects would thus amount to 8.3GW deployed to the tune of EUR6.2 billion, the draft states. Too high? According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, Serbia had an installed PV capacity of 29MW at the end of 2020.
