Summary
Soon there will be no heating oil nor coal in the production of heat in Serbia as the government and local authorities are turning to cleaner energy and the expansion of the district heating network. The Ministry of Mining and Energy intends to utilize the potential of renewables, particularly with solar thermal systems, and EBRD vowed to provide support.
There are few biomass-fueled heating plants in Serbia, with the exception of smaller boilers that mostly serve public buildings, and a small number of projects and plants under construction.
