Serbia's state-owned power producer EPS said it has issued a public call to companies and investors interested to sell or jointly develop renewable energy projects, aiming to diversify its portfolio.The projects are divided into two groups, EPS said in a press release on Friday.
The first group comprises solar, wind and hybrid projects with an installed capacity of at least 50 MW, which are connected to the transmission system. Battery energy storage systems are not mandatory for solar and wind projects, but projects including them will receive bonus points.
For projects in this group, EPS will use a competitive process to select the ones it will buy.
The second group covers projects using biomass and municipal, industrial or organic waste to generate electricity or heat, including waste-to-energy plants, biogas and landfill gas projects, as well as green hydrogen production projects.
EPS is ready to offer its existing sites and infrastructure and jointly develop new energy projects.
The call for projects in the second group will remain open for 60 days. EPS will then determine the models for cooperation and project development based on the declared interest.
"We are opening the door to the best projects and partners in the market in order to accelerate investment in renewable energy sources and create a stable and sustainable energy system for the future," EPS director general Dusan Zivkovic said.
In 2025, EPS's total electricity output came at 30,556 GWh, down by 4% compared to the prior year. Thermal power plants generated 71.4% of the total, hydropower plants 27.3% and Combined Heat and Power Plant Pannonian TE-TO contributed 1.3%.
In May, Zivkovic told SeeNews in an interview that EPS seeks to balance off stable electricity supply and affordable prices with faster decarbonisation as it pushes ahead with investments in renewable energy and system flexibility.
