Electricity prices in Serbia

Serbia generates most of its electricity from lignite-fired plants in the Kolubara and Kostolac basins, with large hydropower stations on the Danube and other rivers providing much of the rest, and wind and solar growing from a low base. The state utility EPS supplies almost all households at prices regulated by the energy agency AERS.

Bills are issued in Serbian dinars and use a block structure in which the rate per unit rises as monthly consumption moves into higher zones, combined with cheaper night-time rates for homes with two-rate meters. Electricity is a major heating source alongside district heating in cities and wood and coal in the countryside, so winter consumption is high. Rooftop solar for households has been encouraged in recent years.
