Serbia, since such strategic generating facility will bring along a necessary
additional energy security of the electric power system, has said Dušan
Živković, EPS JSC Acting Director
on the Jahorina Economic Forum today.
- Energy crises have imposed the energy security issue
as priority and because of that the basic postulate of development of each
country will be the energy security. Taking into account the increasing needs
and interests in investments in renewable energy sources, “Bistrica” PSHPP,
together with “Bajina Bašta” PSHPP, will enable balancing the diversified
Serbian power industry with the higher share of solar and wind energy and also of
other potential sources – highlighted Živković at the Regional Energy Market
Panel.
He has said that, besides the new RES projects, EPS
review other possibilities such as hydrogen use, as well as that on a long
term, nuclear energy should be considered, too, as nuclear power plant may be
seen as potential to additionally secure electric power system and situation
caused by thermal power plants phase-out which was the basic energy production.
- Digitalization process which we largely live, indisputably
imposes the organizational change in energy companies, which EPS started and
which it will successfully complete, I believe. We are finalizing the work on
