The Serbian government has adopted the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) for the period until 2030 with projections until 2050. The plan is expected to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40.3% compared to 1990. Serbia aims to invest in renewable energy sources and to add around 3.5 GW of new solar and wind power capacity by 2030, in order to generate nearly half (45%) of its power from clean sources. Renewables should reach 33.6% of the gross final energy consumption by 2030 and the share of lignite in power generation should be reduced by 25% in 2030 (compared to 2019).
In addition, the NECP aims to limit primary energy consumption at 14.68 Mtoe and final energy consumption at 9.6 Mtoe in 2030. It considers intensive investments in increasing energy efficiency in all sectors, greater use of renewable energy sources for heating and cooling, and a gradual electrification of transport.
