Enerdata reports that Serbia is planning to reverse its ban on nuclear power.
- Serbia banned the use of nuclear power following the 1986 Chernobyl accident.
- The Serbian Ministry of Mining and Energy and representatives from four other ministries, as well as from 20 academic faculties, scientific institutes and energy companies have signed an MOU to explore establishing a commercial nuclear power industry in the country.
- In 2021 62 percent of Serbia’s electricity production was met by coal, according to the International Energy Agency.
“A preliminary study is now planned to provide an analysis of the available technologies and requirements to help inform decisions to be taken. The development of nuclear energy is now considered by the Serbian Government a key development for the sovereignty and independence of the country, while simultaneously protecting the environment and the health of the citizens.”
