How wind power grew in Serbia
In April 2011 a 600 kW turbine was switched on at Leskova, in Tutin municipality. It was reported at the time as Serbia's first wind turbine. Kula, a 9.9 MW farm in Vojvodina, was the first wind farm granted Serbia's feed-in tariff, and was being built in June 2015. Large-scale wind arrived in October 2019, when Kovačica was completed and Čibuk 1, with 57 turbines and 158 MW, began producing.
Čibuk 1 cost €300m. The EBRD arranged €107.7m of loans and the IFC lent the same amount. Its owner is a joint venture of Masdar, Taaleri's SolarWind fund and Germany's DEG. Since 2023 new wind has won 15-year contracts for difference at auction. The first round, in 2023, awarded 400 MW of wind at €64.48 to €79/MWh. In the second, decided in February 2025, winning wind bids ranged from €53.59 to €68.25/MWh.
The six farms on the transmission grid produced 1,243 GWh in 2024, about 3.5% of generation, while coal supplied 60.5%. The national energy and climate plan of July 2024 aims to raise renewables from 34.7% to 45.2% of electricity by 2030, and to connect about 3.5 GW of new solar and wind. Demand to connect is high: in August 2023, 9.63 GW of wind was waiting in the grid queue.
