As 2025 comes to a close, Serbia is entering the new year with a significantly expanded portfolio of renewable energy assets connected to its electricity system. The country’s total installed green capacity now stands at 3,683.4 MW, reflecting several key additions completed in the final weeks of the year.
Wind energy led the year-end growth. Trial operations have begun at the 66 MW Kostolac wind park, while most of the capacity at the Čibuk 2 project—133 MW out of a planned 155 MW—has been synchronized with the national grid. With these additions, Serbia now operates 13 wind farms with a combined capacity of 807 MW. Industry analysts anticipate that total wind capacity could surpass 1 GW during the first half of 2026.
Solar generation continues to expand steadily, though at a more modest pace. Utility-scale photovoltaic plants currently contribute just over 192 MW, while prosumers add another 126 MW to the system.
Hydropower remains the backbone of renewable electricity supply, with 2,507 MW of conventional hydro capacity in operation, supplemented by two pump-storage facilities totaling 639 MW.
Smaller renewable technologies also contribute to the mix. Serbia’s grid includes 48 biogas plants totaling nearly 49 MW, alongside a biomass-fired plant of 2.4 MW.
Serbia has committed to sourcing 45.2% of its electricity from renewables by 2030. However, delays in several planned projects highlight the challenges ahead. Maintaining momentum and accelerating implementation will be critical if Serbia is to remain on track toward its long-term energy transition goals.
