Introduction
Serbia has been making efforts to increase its share of renewable energy in its energy mix. The country has set targets for the development of renewable energy sources, particularly in the areas of wind and solar power.
Serbia has been investing in wind energy projects, and several wind farms have been under development or already operational. The government has shown support for wind energy as a means to diversify the energy mix and reduce dependence on conventional sources.
Solar power projects have also gained attention, with the government implementing policies to encourage solar energy development. Solar farms and rooftop solar installations have been part of the renewable energy expansion plans.
Serbia has a long history of utilizing hydropower, and it continues to be an important part of the country's energy mix. Existing hydropower plants have been upgraded, and there have been discussions about the potential for new hydropower projects.

Key Problems of the Energy Sector
Policy Framework, Laws and Regulations
In the Republic of Serbia, the production of electricity from renewable energy sources is mainly promoted through a feed-in tariff.
In the Republic of Serbia, the main support scheme for the production of electricity from renewable energy sources is a feed-in tariff, regulated by the Energy Law and special Decrees.
The plant operators need to obtain the status of a „privileged power producer“ („povlašćeni proizvođač električne energije“) in order to acquire the right to a price support for the generated electricity under the legal requirements. After having concluded a power purchase agreement with the plant operator, the guaranteed supplier Elektroprivreda Srbije is legally obliged to buy the specified amount of electric energy from privileged producers at an incentive price .
The amount of the feed-in tariff is determined in the Decree on Incentive Measures for Electricity Generation from Renewable Energy Sources and High-Efficiency Cogeneration of Electricity and Heat and it mainly depends on the type of RES technology.
Support schemes
The guaranteed supplier is statutorily obliged to purchase electricity from renewable energy sources at an incentive price.
