In the electricity systems of the twenty-first century, no country’s stability will be determined by what it can do alone. Stability will be determined by what it can do together with others, and how intelligently it positions itself inside larger regional and continental systems. For decades, Serbia’s understanding of energy security was framed through a […]

Serbia is entering the most consequential phase of its energy history. For decades, lignite and large centralized power plants supplied dependable electricity, insulated the country from external shocks, maintained social and political calm, and gave industry a predictable environment. That system is now approaching its structural limits. Aging coal units face ever-increasing maintenance stress, unplanned
No element of Serbia’s future power system is more underestimated than flexibility. Serbia often discusses power plants, renewables, hydropower capacities and interconnections — yet the real determinant of whether Serbia can integrate renewables safely and cheaply is whether it builds a strong flexibility ecosystem. Flexibility is the system’s capacity to respond instantly to changes. Without

Serbia’s electricity price terrain is becoming one of the most volatile and strategically sensitive elements of national policy and economic planning. As Serbia transitions toward greater renewable penetration, regional integration and more complex market dynamics, price forecasting transforms from a technical exercise into a question of national economic resilience. Prices in Serbia today are shaped

Serbia’s electricity demand forecasting is no longer the simple science it once was. The energy landscape is transforming, and Serbia is now managing not only demand patterns but also renewable variability, unpredictable hydrology and more dynamic consumer behaviour. Precision forecasting has become one of the most critical tools for system resilience, investment strategy and operational
Serbia’s energy policy is increasingly torn between its traditional sector-based governance and a future that demands full integration. Historically, electricity, gas, heating, fuel supply, and infrastructure planning existed as separate islands. Each sector had its own strategy, regulatory rules, investment plans and corporate logic. For decades, this structure worked. Today, it is becoming a structural
Serbia’s electricity tariff system is standing at a structural turning point. For decades, tariffs were built to serve a stable, centralized, largely state-dominated system with predictable consumption, limited distributed generation, and minimal behavioural responsiveness from consumers. That reality is disappearing. Today, Serbia is moving toward a power system influenced by renewables, digital technology, European market

Serbia is entering the most decisive decade in the modern history of its energy system. What for years looked like a stable and predictable structure built around lignite baseload, large hydropower and modest imports is being replaced by a far more complex reality driven by renewables expansion, climate pressures, aging coal fleets, system reliability risks

Gen Energija has selected the US-based engineering firm Rizzo International to conduct a probabilistic seismic risk assessment for both the existing Krsko nuclear power plant and the planned second unit. The study is expected to take approximately 15 months and will cost just over €2.1 million, excluding VAT. The project will also involve several subcontractors,
Despite undergoing a scheduled downtime this year, Slovenia’s sole nuclear power plant, Krsko, is on track to finish 2025 with electricity production exceeding expectations. Total output is projected to reach around 5.5 TWh, while forecasts for next year — when no regular maintenance shutdown is planned — point to generation surpassing 6 TWh delivered to
