Development of electric energy production
Nuclear electric power plant won’t be erected in Serbia. The EPS (Serbian electric power industry) considers two possibilities for thermoelectric power plants: to continue construction of the Kolubara B thermoelectric power plant (2 x 350 MW), in which $500 million was already invested, or to start construction of the Termoelektrana – Toplana in Obrenovac (800 MW).
Some expert’s think that construction of the additional capacities isn’t necessary; considerable savings of the electric power could be attained by reducing loses in transmission and distribution and by more rational utilization of the electric power.
According to other experts Serbia needs additional 600 to 1,200 MW of production capacities, because of expected significant increase of the electric power consumption in industry by 2005.
