5 FAQs about [Hydropower for home use Serbia]
Does Serbia need a hydropower plant?
The increase of the share of renewable resources in the structure of energy consumption has become a priority of energy policy in countries across Europe. Taking into consideration that Serbia did not exploit most of its hydro potential, the efforts are being made to increase energy production by building small hydropower plants.
When will a new hydropower plant be built in Serbia?
The start of works is planned for the second half of 2024, according to Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Đedović. Serbia also plans to build a pumped storage hydropower plant called Bistrica, with a capacity of 628 MW, which will be located downstream of the existing Bistrica hydropower plant.
How much hydropower will Serbia have in 2022?
In March 2022, hydropower accumulations in Serbia reached a record five-year minimum of 159 GWh and in the coming period should be expected to grow due to more favorable hydrological conditions. Bringing hydro reserves to the required level of 400-450 GWh before the winter season will be a great challenge given the current rate of their filling.
Are small hydropower plants a viable renewable resource?
Having in mind that hydropower potential is considered the most important renewable resource (31,000 GWh per year) which is only partially exploited (10,000 GWh per year), accent is laid on the possibilities for its complete utilization through construction of small hydropower plants (SHPs).
Which country has the most small hydropower plants?
According to data provided by the European Small Hydropower Association (ESHA), Austria has the greatest share of SHPs in the total installed capacity – 4.89% and in total electricity production – 6.87%, whereas Germany has the greatest share of SHPs in the total capacity of hydropower stations – 16.67%.
