Is EPS lagging behind regional power utilities? Execution, not ambition, is the core gap

When measured against its regional peers, Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) is increasingly lagging—not in stated ambition, but in execution speed, project scale, and repeatable delivery capacity. The contrast is clearest in renewables, flexibility, and grid-linked investments, where neighbouring utilities have moved from planning into multi-year construction cycles, while EPS is only beginning to transition from feasibility-heavy portfolios into first
