On the basis of the Agreement for the provision of support services with the Ministry of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection under the auspices of the “Policy Advice on Renewable Energy Sources” project, in 2012 UNDP Serbia focused on promoting investments in renewable energy sector by updating and revising four existing, yet outdated, guides for investors in renewable energy facilities and by elaborating two new guides:
- Construction of plants and electricity/heat generation from biomass in the republic of Serbia
- Construction of plants and electricity generation in small hydropower plants in the republic of Serbia
- Construction of plants and electricity generation in wind power plants in the republic of Serbia
- Construction of plants and electricity/heat generation from hydro-geothermal sources in the republic of Serbia
- Construction of plants and electricity generation in wind power plants in the republic of Serbia
- Construction of the solar heating systems in the republic of Serbia
(All the guides can be found on our side of the DOCUMENTS)
All guides, with the exception of one, are bilingual and exist in two versions. Six elaborated guides describe in details very complex and comprehensive procedure for constructing energy facilities and performing economic activity of energy generation from renewable sources. The detailed guides are intended primarily for investors and project developers, but also for officials in different competent institutions since the legal procedure is typically cross-sectoral. In five less detailed guides the comprehensive matter is described in a simple and illustrative manner with an idea to bring it closer to the wide range of stakeholders.
The objective of the guides is to encourage and assist the investors interested in Serbian renewable energy sector, but also to identify through a thorough analysis weaknesses and inconsistencies of the legal procedure and to encourage competent institutions to perform legal and institutional improvements.
The guides, along with National Renewable Action Energy Plan, were presented to the public on 27th of February 2013 in Serbian Chamber of Commerce in the framework of the final conference of the Serbian-Dutch Government-to- Government (G2G) Project „The Development of Renewable Energy Framework in Serbia“.
