Higher Prices

"Likewise, the Serbian government is planning to stimulate the production of
electrical power from renewable energy sources by setting higher wholesale prices for
energy produced from these sources (wind, biomass, etc.). In the first half of 2009, the
government plans to adopt regulations on defining “privileged producers” of electricity
from renewable energy sources. These regulations will define the terms of contracts
between the privileged alternative source producer and electrical grid operators that
will buy the electricity and ultimately sell it to the final consumers. The lawmakers
preparing this legislation believe that the higher prices for the alternative energy will
stimulate foreign investors to become active in this industry in Serbia.

Moving forward, the most important step for Serbia is to define the legal advantages that it can offer
producers of alternative energy sources and to define what sort of financial incentives it
will be able to offer to increase their ability to produce this energy."
