Serbia Aims for Nearly Half of Energy from Renewables by 2030, Says NALED

Serbia is setting bold targets for renewable energy and sustainable growth as it aligns with EU environmental standards, a focus highlighted at NALED’s recent CORE Days conference

Transitioning to renewable energy, encouraging sustainable innovation, and boosting investments in green technologies are key initiatives driving Serbia’s ecological and competitive future, concluded the third CORE Days regional conference, organised by NALED with support from the Swedish and German governments.

The Swedish Embassy in Belgrade announced that, in partnership with NALED, it will work over the next three years to promote sustainable supply chains and alignment with EU environmental and social governance standards, strengthening the position of Serbian businesses in the European market.

“Supply chains often rely on practices that may negatively impact human rights and the environment,” said Ann-Charlotte Malm, Head of Development Cooperation at the Swedish Embassy, noting that new EU regulations provide a vital opportunity to address these challenges.

British Ambassador to Serbia Edward Ferguson highlighted the significance of Serbia’s Integrated Energy and Climate Plan, setting an ambitious target of sourcing 45% of electricity from renewables by 2030. The UK, he noted, will further support the Western Balkans with £15 billion for export financing.

The CORE Days conference also spotlighted initiatives promoting digitalisation, environmental protection, and EU alignment at the local level through NALED’s Business-Friendly Certification Program (BFC), involving 53 Serbian municipalities working to improve regional best practices.
