ABSTRACT
By joining the Energy Community and obtaining candidate status for accession to the European Union (EU), Serbia has committed to harmonize its energy policy to the legislation of the EU. The backbone of this policy is the power sector, which will continue to be the foundation of future development. In fact, the power sector is probably the closest to EU standards. This paper presents the energy resources in Serbia and the potentials that can be used to define the power sector policy. It is expected that lignite and large hydropower plants (HPPs) will become the basis of the energy system in the future, but with a significant increase in the share of renewable sources, primarily wind energy and biomass. One of the main objectives is to reach a 50:50 ratio of electricity produced from renewable and non-renewable sources in the period 2020–2030.
