In Serbia’s debate on CBAM exposure, grid infrastructure is still treated as a background constraint—important, but secondary. That framing is dangerously wrong. For CBAM-exposed exporters, grid delays function as an unlegislated carbon tax, imposed not by Brussels but by physics, timing, and procurement logic. Unlike formal CBAM charges, this tax does not appear on invoices. […]
Aggregation is the missing market: Why Serbia needs an industrial green power aggregator Read More »
Serbia’s debate on green electricity and CBAM exposure has so far focused on capacity build-out and contract pricing. Both matter, but neither addresses the structural failure that increasingly determines outcomes for industrial exporters: the absence of aggregation and portfolio-level control. In a power system moving rapidly toward higher shares of intermittent generation, value no longer
As Serbia’s renewable fleet moves from isolated projects toward system-material portfolios, the center of gravity in value creation shifts away from individual plant performance and toward aggregation, virtual balancing, and coordinated dispatch. This layer sits above turbines, panels, and batteries. It is not hardware; it is market access, control logic, and portfolio optimization, and it
A 400–600 MW onshore wind portfolio in Serbia behaves fundamentally differently from a solar-dominated build-out once projects reach system-material size. The difference is not cosmetic or theoretical. It shows up directly in annual generation stability, capture prices, curtailment behavior, and—most importantly for investors—equity IRR resilience under grid stress and delays. Wind’s advantage begins with physics.
Serbia: Solar-plus-storage platform emerges as a system-scale energy asset Read More »
A close Serbian analogue to the Masdar–EPCG concept in Montenegro is the strategic partnership under which EPS Elektroprivreda Srbije and the Hyundai Engineering–UGT Renewables consortium agreed on a state-led rollout of utility-scale solar generation paired with battery storage. The structure is explicitly designed as a self-balancing renewable platform, with construction and initial operation led by the consortium, followed
Serbian oil company NIS is stepping into utility-scale renewable power generation after receiving local approval for a new solar project in eastern Serbia. The City of Smederevo has formally acknowledged the company’s application to build a solar power plant with integrated battery storage, clearing the way for construction to begin in mid-January. The project received
Serbia: Crude oil shipments resume to Pancevo refinery after months-long halt Read More »
Crude oil deliveries to Serbia’s Pančevo refinery have restarted, restoring a vital supply route through the JANAF pipeline system after nearly three months of interruption. Transport had been halted on 9 October due to the full enforcement of US sanctions, but a temporary license granted to JANAF has enabled operations to resume. Energy and Mining
Chinese wind-turbine manufacturer Dongfang Wind Power has signed a contract to deliver 48 wind turbines for a 300 MW wind power project in Serbia, with a total investment value of €495 million. The project is set to become the largest wind farm in Serbia and across Eastern Europe, positioning the country among the region’s leading renewable-energy markets. The wind farm,
Serbia launches new crude oil pipeline to Novi Sad to strengthen supply security Read More »
Serbia has launched a public tender for the construction of a new crude oil pipeline linking the Hungarian border with Novi Sad, a project aimed at strengthening supply security by adding a second import route. The procurement, announced by Transnafta, covers construction works and expert supervision. The pipeline would be 113 kilometers long, running from
Serbia moves to boost NIS stake amid US sanctions on Russian owners Read More »
Serbia is looking to increase its ownership in oil company NIS to gain greater influence over strategic decisions as the company navigates US sanctions linked to its Russian shareholders. President Aleksandar Vučić stated that the state aims to acquire an additional 5% stake, which would provide deeper insight into financial flows and operational management. According
