Share of renewable energy in final energy consumption

Serbia’s 2024 integrated national energy and climate plan charts an ambitious path to renewable energy growth

Serbia’s 2024 sets ambitious targets for renewable energy sources, aiming for a 33.6% share of renewables in gross final energy consumption by 2030 (see chart). Key targets include a 45.2% renewable energy share in electricity generation, primarily from wind and solar, 41.4% in heating and cooling and 7% in the transport sector. The plan promotes innovative technologies, such as small wind turbines and renewable hydrogen production, to support the integration of variable renewable energy sources and to enhance grid stability. Policy tools include incentives for renewably sourced electricity production, research funding to drive innovation, and consumer-focused measures to ensure affordability and address diverse needs, including those in rural areas. The effective implementation of policy, continuous monitoring of progress and collaboration of various stakeholders are essential. This comprehensive approach underscores Serbia’s commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, mitigating climate change while ensuring a just transition for all.
