Renewable energy firm RP Global, with a substantial global project pipeline, is set to make a significant mark on Serbia’s renewable energy landscape by constructing a solar power plant with solar battery storage of up to 100 MW in the vicinity of Sremska Mitrovica. This venture is not only indicative of RP Global’s commitment to sustainable energy but also highlights Serbia’s growing interest in harnessing the potential of renewable energy sources.

Is solar energy suitable for your business? Solar energy has numerous advantages that are worth investigating. Investing in solar will minimise your operational costs, reduce your company’s carbon footprint, and prepare it for the future. A commercial property with a solar installation is excellent for business.

When installing commercial solar for a company, it is crucial to be informed of all types of federal government solar rebates, incentives and the many benefits these provide, as they may help Australian businesses become future-ready and sustainable for years to come.

RP Global: A key player in renewable energy

RP Global, an Austrian renewables developer, has gained prominence in the renewable energy sector with an impressive global project portfolio of 15,800 MW. The company focuses primarily on wind and solar power, emphasising its commitment to reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to sustainable energy sources. RP Global has also extended its reach to Southeastern Europe, with notable activities in Croatia. In Croatia, the company is working on projects for photovoltaic facilities and wind farms, collectively boasting a capacity of 500 MW. This expansion reflects RP Global’s dedication to promoting renewable energy in the region.

In line with its expansion, RP Global established a subsidiary in Serbia in 2021, strengthening its presence in the Balkan region. This strategic move aligns with Serbia’s efforts to bolster its renewable energy sector.

Solar power plant project near Sremska Mitrovica

The proposed solar power plant is located near the village of Čalma, north of Sremska Mitrovica, and is currently in the early public consultation phase. RP Global’s subsidiary in Serbia, RP Global Solarne Elektrane, will spearhead the development of this project.

The chosen site spans approximately 201 hectares, with a significant portion, 93%, designated as cropland. This land use choice hints at the potential for the solar power plant to be constructed as an agrisolar power plant, a concept that is increasingly popular in the region. Agrisolar projects integrate agricultural activities with solar power generation, offering a dual benefit of energy production and land utilisation. Several similar projects are in the pipeline not only in Serbia but also in neighbouring countries like Croatia and Montenegro.

The project aims to define the maximum space available for installing a photovoltaic power plant with a capacity ranging between 10 MW and 100 MW. The facility will also incorporate a battery energy storage system, a key feature gaining traction in the Serbian renewable energy market.

The rise of battery storage in Serbia

Battery storage has been gradually gaining prominence within the Serbian renewable energy sector. These battery units can be installed independently or integrated with solar power plants and other renewable energy systems, providing a crucial solution for managing energy supply and demand effectively.

RP Global’s planned investment marks the third project with battery storage in Serbia. Approximately a year ago, CWP Global announced its plans for the Lederata Energy project, signalling the potential for significant energy storage capacity in the country. Recently, the Serbian Government received three bids for a strategic partnership to install solar power plants with a total capacity of 1 GW, each integrated with battery storage. These developments underscore the growing interest in battery storage to enhance the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy systems in Serbia.
