Renewable energy policy<br />

Serbia has a largely untapped and significant potential<br />

for renewable energy. Hydropower is the most<br />

important potential as compared to other energy<br />

sources, at approximately 17,000 GWh, with 10,000<br />

GWh currently in use. Other than hydropower, only<br />

biomass has been partly developed as an renewable<br />

energy source. 3<br />

Feed-in tariffs exist, but the administrative procedures<br />

for authorization, licensing and network connections<br />

are the biggest barrier for the use of renewables. 4<br />

Serbia took upon itself to increase the share of<br />

renewable energy in total energy consumption from<br />

21.2-27 per cent by 2020. Before autumn <strong>2013</strong>, key<br />

documents regulating the energy sector should<br />

already be in place, such as the new Energy<br />

Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia by<br />

2025 with development projections up to 2030. 8<br />
