Ministry of Mining and Energy of the Republic of Serbia September 2017 Efforts by the Ministry WIND POWER MONTHLY First due diligence assessment very positive by C.M.S “ It was worth the wait!!!” “ The result is a consistent, comprehensive and, at least on the face of it, bankable set of regulations to govern the renewable sector in Serbia in a manner which appears to be unmatched in the entire Western Balkan region in terms of both the quality of drafting and the completeness of the solutions implemented. ” “ Overall, the newly adopted PPA Package is a great step forward for renewables in Serbia.” http://balkangreenenergynews.com/long-awaited-ppa-package-finally-adopted-in- serbia/

"You can clearly see they are the result of lengthy discussions with the international financial institutions, which is important, but something you don't see very often.“

Ministry of Mining and Energy of the Republic of Serbia September 2017 Key obstacles to implementation of RES projects

Lack of reliable data – on where are and how big are economically viable RES potential. – the lack of planning documents determined the mode how to use of land (Spatial Plan of the Republic of Serbia, Regional Spatial Plans, Spatial Plans of the unit of local administration, General Urban Plan, General Regulation Plan).

Ministry of Mining and Energy of the Republic of Serbia September 2017 Key obstacles to implementation of RES projects Uncertainty of investment

• Inadequate credit rating (2016: Moody's B1 - positive, Fitch: BB - stable) macroeconomic indicators, political stability, stability of the banking sector (SPECULATIVE GRADE – ability to achieve financial obligations, risk of change in the business environment and economic conditions, considerable credit risk) • Insufficient trust of IFI’s (banks) and investors in the national legal system and legal protection

Ministry of Mining and Energy of the Republic of Serbia September 2017 Results achieved Plan and implementation for electricity

Action plan Constructed Temporaray status of PP 483 MW (16,6 mil EUR)

Energy permits 80 MW

Ministry of Mining and Energy of the Republic of Serbia September 2017 Results achieved Large jumps and achievements of goals are largely based on the construction of 500 MW wind farms, from which already Kula 9.9 MW and La Piccolina 6.6 MW, MalibuNar, 8 MW have already been played, and the remaining ones are to be built:

1. Alibunar, 42 MW 2. Plandište 1, 102 MW 3. Kovačica 104.5 MW 4. Cibuk 1, 158.5 MW 5. Kosava, 68 MW

6. Wind farm in (EPS) 66 MW
