Core offering

The Ministry of Mining and Energy administers national policy, regulation, permitting, inspection, and public programs across electricity, renewables, oil and gas, energy efficiency, geology, and mining. It provides government service portals, public registries, cadasters, and subsidy or development programs to Serbian companies, public institutions, and households.

Product overview

The Ministry of Mining and Energy operates a portfolio of government service platforms and administrative programs rather than commercial products. Core digital platforms include the Energy Management System (SEMIS) for tracking energy consumption and managing energy manager licenses; multiple public registries (Energy Permits, Mineral Resources Cadastre, Geological Information System, Privileged Producers, Biofuels Obligees, Mining Waste); and the Energy Portal. The ministry administers grant and subsidy programs including the World Bank-funded 'Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency for Citizens' (SURCE) program for household energy efficiency upgrades, and the KfW/EU-supported Biomass Market Development Program for district heating systems. These are government administrative services, not commercial product offerings.

Brands

• SURCE (Čista energija i energetska efikasnost za građane): Project 'Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency for Citizens' providing household subsidies
• Energy Portal (Energetski portal)
• Energy Management System (Sistem energetskog menadžmenta - SEMIS)

Products and services

• Energy Management System (EMS/SEMIS) A web-based database system for energy reviews and energy management, established under the Energy Efficiency Law. It allows obligated entities to register and manage energy-consumption data, track energy-manager licenses, and monitor energy-efficiency targets.
• Energy Permits Registry An online registry of energy permits for the construction and operation of energy facilities in Serbia.
• Mineral Resources Cadastre A cadastre of exploration and exploitation fields for mineral resources that provides GIS-based access to mining-rights information.
• Geological Information System of Serbia (Geoliss) A geological information system providing access to geological data and documentation for mineral resources and geological research.
• Privileged Producers Registry A registry of privileged energy producers in Serbia that tracks renewable-energy producers with special status.
• Biofuels System Obligees Registry A registry of entities obligated to comply with biofuel-blending requirements.
• Mining Waste Cadastre A cadastre system for tracking and managing mining-waste facilities and their compliance.
• Biomass Market Development Program A multi-phase program supported by KfW and the European Union to develop biomass energy in district-heating systems across Serbia. Phase 1 built biomass heating plants in Priboj, Mali Zvornik, Novi Pazar, and Majdanpek, while Phase 2 expands the program to additional cities.
• Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency for Citizens Program (SURCE) A five-year Ministry and World Bank program providing Serbian households with subsidies for energy-efficiency improvements. Its initial target of 25,000 households was exceeded and increased to 50,000 households; the program is funded with USD 50 million.
• Energy Portal (E-portal) A central energy-information portal providing access to energy-related information, public services, and resources.

Partnerships

Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core, major and moderate.

• EDF (Électricité de France)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2025Serbia is cooperating with EDF on its nuclear power program. EDF is conducting studies as part of the first phase of Serbia's nuclear development, with the goal of being ready for construction by 2032. The French Development Agency also finances initial studies.
• Siemens Gamesa Renewable EnergymajorStrategic or Co-development PartnerSiemens Gamesa is the technology partner for the Kostolac wind farm project, Serbia's first state-owned wind power plant, supported by German development cooperation through KfW and the EU.
• USA (US Department of Energy)majorStrategic or Co-development PartnerSerbia and the USA have a Strategic Cooperation Agreement in the field of energy. Based on this agreement, a public call was issued for companies from the USA to participate in the RHE Đerdap 3 project.

Direct peers

• Energy Agency of the Republic of Serbia (AERS): AERS is Serbia's independent energy regulator that operates the wholesale/retail electricity and gas markets and issues licenses. It is a direct institutional peer to the Ministry because both oversee energy-sector regulation in Serbia — the Ministry handles policy/strategy/permits, while AERS handles market regulation and tariff oversight on the same regulated entities.
• Energy Community Secretariat: The Energy Community Secretariat is the international organization that oversees implementation of the Energy Community Treaty across the Western Balkans and beyond. The Ministry of Mining and Energy cooperates with it directly as part of EU approximation in the energy sector, making the Secretariat a direct peer in regional energy governance and Treaty transposition work.
• European Commission DG Energy: DG ENER is the European Commission's energy policy directorate and the lead EU counterpart for Serbia's Chapter 15 (Energy) accession negotiations. The Ministry cooperates with DG ENER on regulatory alignment, IPA III co-financing, and energy market integration, making it a direct peer in cross-border energy policy and donor-program design.
• Energy Charter Secretariat: The Energy Charter Secretariat is the international organization that administers the Energy Charter Treaty governing cross-border energy trade, investment protection, and transit. The Ministry cooperates with it as part of its international energy policy obligations, making it a direct peer in cross-border energy governance and Treaty compliance work.

Others

• Srbijagas: Srbijagas is Serbia's state-owned natural gas company and a peer in the gas-sector ecosystem the Ministry regulates and supports — including the World Bank-financed internal gas network and storage build-out. The Ministry holds the policy mandate while Srbijagas executes supply, storage, and distribution, making them complementary state actors rather than competitors.
• European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD): The EBRD is a core financial partner to the Ministry via the Regional Energy Efficiency Programme (€88M additional approved investments, plus a broader €1B portfolio since 2013). It is a peer in that it co-designs and co-finances energy transition programs targeting the same Serbian state entities, while also operating as a donor/creditor partner rather than a competitor.
• Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS): EPS is the state-owned electric utility of Serbia and the principal entity the Ministry of Mining and Energy oversees on policy, capacity additions (426 MW added in four years), and strategic projects. It is a peer in that it executes the Ministry's electricity-sector mandate on the ground, though it is a state-owned enterprise rather than a regulator.

Broad incumbents

• IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency): IRENA is the international intergovernmental organization that supports countries in renewable energy transition, and the Ministry cooperates with it as part of its international energy policy framework. It is a broad peer in renewable policy design, capacity planning, and transition financing — overlapping with but not directly competing with the Ministry's regulatory role.

Regional players

• Ministry of Economy and Energy of North Macedonia: North Macedonia's Ministry of Economy and Energy is a regional peer: it sits at the same Energy Community Treaty governance table, signed the 15 May 2026 joint ministerial statement with Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece, and pursues analogous energy transition, renewables, and EU Chapter 15 accession work.
• Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Bulgaria: Serbia's Ministry of Energy is a regional peer of Bulgaria's Ministry of Energy given Serbia's stated cross-border interconnection strategy with Bulgaria and the May 2026 joint ministerial statement with Bulgaria, Greece, and North Macedonia. Both ministries pursue similar mandates of energy policy, security, and EU integration for their respective states.
