Power Plants in Serbia
Serbia has 49 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 60th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.2% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 14 operating and 35 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 7.0 GW across 14 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Nikola Tesla power station (3.1 GW).
The largest owner-operators are Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) (8), Elektroprivreda Srbije Beograd AD (5) and CWP Global (4) — Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) alone is named on 16% of them. Half of Serbia's power plants in service predate 1982 (median commissioning year of the 14 with a known date), 4 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Zvornik hydroelectric plant, dating from 1955. 35 are in the pipeline, led by Djerdap III hydroelectric plant (2.4 GW), under construction. They account for 53% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Serbia.

Frequently asked
- How many power plants are there in Serbia?
- OverWatts maps 49 power plants in Serbia — 0.2% of the world's mapped total, the 60th-largest national fleet of the 155 countries with any.
- What is the largest power plant in Serbia?
- Nikola Tesla power station, at 3.1 GW.
- How much power-generation capacity do Serbia's power plants have?
- About 7.0 GW operating across 14 plants, with a further 13.7 GW under construction or proposed. That covers utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above, so it sits below national installed capacity wherever distributed generation is large.

- Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) is named as owner or operator on the most — 8 of 49 (16%). Next are Elektroprivreda Srbije Beograd AD (5), CWP Global (4) and Fortis Inc (4).
- How old are Serbia's power plants?
- The median commissioning year is 1982, across the 14 in service with a known start date. The oldest still listed is Zvornik hydroelectric plant (1955); 4 came online in the past ten years.
- What new power plants are being built in Serbia?
- 35 projects are under construction or proposed. The largest are Djerdap III hydroelectric plant (2.4 GW), Bor wind farm (1.5 GW) and Stiško Polje wind farm (1.0 GW).
