POWER: Serbia Lifts Ban on Nuclear Energy

POWER

Serbia has lifted its ban on nuclear energy on Wednesday that was put in place in 1980 as the country aims to invest into nuclear energy according to BNE Intellinews. 

  • The Serbian government has asked Hungary earlier this month to pay up to 10% of ownership of its PAK nuclear power plant to diversify the country’s energy supplies, President Aleksandar Vucic said, cited by Reuters.
  • It is not certain whether Serbia wants to invest into the existing power plant or the power plant that is under construction.
  • Earlier this year, the Serbian government has signed an MoU with EdF to explore nuclear energy in the country.
  • In October 2024, Serbia's Ministry of Mining and Energy awarded EDF and Egis Industries a contract to conduct a preliminary technical study on nuclear power.
