The Serbian Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure has issued an operating license for the new B3 unit at the Kostolac coal-fired thermal power plant, marking a significant milestone in the country’s energy development.
The license follows the formal handover of the 350 MW B3 unit last year from China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC) to Serbia’s state-owned power utility, EPS. Once fully operational, the new unit is expected to contribute approximately 5 percent of Serbia’s total electricity production.
Equipped with modern environmental protection technologies, the B3 unit is designed to deliver reliable power generation while meeting stringent emissions standards. The project reflects Serbia’s effort to balance energy security with environmental responsibility, as it expands domestic electricity production capacity.
