Register of Prosumers of Elektrodistribucija Srbije lists 3,199 prosumers with a total installed power of 55.2 MW. Publicly available data show that over 60 MW of solar power plants are installed in Serbia, but on the distribution system, there is still not one connected power plant, announced the RES Serbia Association on the occasion of the European Solar Day.
The Register of Prosumers of EDS lists 3,199 producers-consumers of electrical energy with a total installed power of 55.2 MW. Households, of which there are 2,358, are the most numerous, with an installed power of 19.1 MW. At only three, housing units are the least numerous, with a total installed power of 69.5 kW.
The prosumers in the category Other Producers-Consumers have the biggest capacity. There are currently 838 of them, with an installed power of 36.1 MW. As a recent analysis of RES Serbia has shown, this category features telecommunications structures, industrial facilities, as well as churches, schools and kindergartens.
Unlike the precise and transparent register of prosumers, there is no such register of connected solar power plants, so there are no records about how many solar power plants are connected to the distribution system of electrical energy for test operations, and how many own a final decision on the connection.
Also, the register available on the website of EDS does not show the locations of the power plants, the power installed, or the investors, which makes analysis and recording more difficult.
The Register of Preferred Producers of Electrical Energy of the Ministry of Mining and Energy shows with precision that the total power of the solar power plants with the feed-in tariff is 23 MW, of which many have started exiting the incentive status.
Publicly available data show that the solar power plants DeLasol (9 MW), Lebane Novo Selo (8 MW) and Saraorci (9 MW), as well as several smaller power plants, are connected to the grid for test operations and that there are more than 60 MW of solar power plants installed in Serbia. On the distribution system, there is still not a single connected power plant.
By the end of the year, new auctions for the allocation of market premiums for renewable energy sources, by which a quota of 100 MW for solar power plants is planned, which is twice as much as last year. Still, the investors haven’t even met the quota of 50 MW, because, at last year’s auctions, a quota of a total of 25.2 MW was allocated to five solar power plants.

The total global capacity of solar energy reaches 1.6 TW
Solar energy is increasingly present in the world. In 2023, the global yearly installations of solar panels grew 87% compared to the previous year, as shown by the latest global analysis of SolarPower Europe. Last year brought 447 GW of new solar capacities, compared to the 239 MW installed in 2022, whereby the total global capacity of solar energy reached 1.6 TW, Ekapija reports.
