Wind power in Serbia

Last updated

Wind power is a fledgling source of renewable energy in Serbia. In 2020, the wind power provided 963 GWh (2.83%) of the total electricity generated in Serbia, up from 48 GWh (0.15%) in 2017. [1] [2] Wind power is the second most favored energy source by the Serbian public, second only to solar energy. [3]
