The number of prosumers in Serbia is steadily increasing, according to the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) Serbia association. As of now, over 4,300 prosumers are registered in the country, with a total installed capacity exceeding 84 MW. This represents a significant growth trend, as just last April, Serbia had nearly 48 MW of installed capacity, marking a 75% increase.
The largest group of prosumers are households, with 3,100 registered participants. In contrast, residential communities represent the smallest group, with only four such communities engaging in prosumer electricity production. The second-largest group, but the clear leader in installed capacity, is the “other prosumers” category, which includes 1,200 participants.
The total installed capacity of all prosumers in Serbia now stands at 84.8 MW. The four residential communities registered as prosumers have a combined installed capacity of 79.5 kW from solar power plants. The “other prosumers” group accounts for 59.4 MW of the total installed capacity, with 1,200 producers. RES Serbia’s analysis from April 2024 placed particular emphasis on this group, noting that many of these prosumers are telecommunication facilities—362 of which have a total capacity of 3.9 MW. The largest share of installed capacity, nearly 36.3 MW, comes from 223 industrial facilities. Other commercial establishments, including supermarkets, restaurants, and shopping centers, represent 470 prosumers with a total installed capacity of 15.9 MW. Only 26 registered prosumers are state institutions, with less than 1 MW of capacity, and this category also includes 18 churches, 17 schools, and 7 kindergartens.
The number of household prosumers has recently surpassed 3,000, reflecting a nearly 300-person increase in just three months. The current installed capacity of household prosumers exceeds 25 MW. Prosumer distribution varies across regions in Serbia, with the Vojvodina region leading with over 1,100 prosumers, accounting for a third of the total number. The Sumadija and western Serbia region follows with 613 prosumers, while the City of Belgrade has about half that number, with 512. Eastern and southern Serbia collectively have 867 prosumers.
