Up to 200 MW of battery storage will be developed across the sites. Image: Ministry of Mining and Energy, Tanjug Plans for 1 GW of new solar in Serbia are set to go ahead after the signing of an implementation agreement.
Serbia will soon see six large solar plants strategically positioned across the country. Key locations include Negotin, Zaječar, and Bošnjace. Together, these sites will provide 1 GW of solar energy capacity. Each plant will also have advanced battery storage systems totaling 200 MW, ensuring stable electricity flow across the national grid.
Serbia currently gets more than 60% of its electricity from fossil fuels. The contract is the latest in a line of solar projects backed by Serbia’s Ministry of Mining and Energy this year, which includes plans for a 1 GW solar panel factory and another 500 MW of solar.
The contract is the latest in a line of solar projects backed by Serbia’s Ministry of Mining and Energy this year, which includes plans for a 1 GW solar panel factory and another 500 MW of solar. Figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency state Serbia had deployed a total 137 MW of solar by the end of last year.
The government has formed a working group to organize the tender, select successful bids, and negotiate with the chosen strategic partner. According to the Association of Renewable Energy Sources of Serbia, the country has installed around 50 MW of solar. However, that figure is not exact, as there is no official registry at this stage.
The Serbian government approved the proposed sites in September. The largest in the deal is a 460 MW facility in the territory of Negotin and Zaječar, followed by a 302 MW plant in Bošnjace. All six plants will be connected to a single transmission network and are expected to produce a combined 1,600 GWh annually.
