Construction Of Serbia's Largest Solar Power Plant Begins

Serbia's largest solar power plant has begun construction in the northern city of Senta, near the Serbian-Hungarian border, it was reported on May 28th. The project, built by Israeli company Nofar Energy, has a total capacity of 26 megawatts on a 30-hectare site, with an investment of 25 million euros, and will be able to supply more than 9,000 households with electricity every year, and is expected to be connected to the grid by the end of this year.

It is estimated that the project will help Serbia reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 25,000 tons per year, save 12 million liters of fuel, and save 581,000 trees in ten years. Mrdak, an advisor to Serbia's Ministry of Mining and Energy, said that in addition to this solar plant, which will be connected to the grid at the end of this year, there will be at least five more solar plants connected to the Serbian grid, with a total capacity of 30 megawatts. All this shows that the solar industry in Serbia has entered a new phase full of development dynamics. The state will continue to encourage the development of the solar industry through the auction system and plans to announce tenders by the end of the year. In addition, the legislative framework will be improved. The electricity market will be further improved so that such projects can be developed on a commercial basis.
