Morava power plant operates under the EU’s Large Combustion Plants Directive (LCPD). In addition to Morava, the thermal power plants Kolubara A in Serbia, Pljevlja in Montenegro, and Kakanj and Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina are also in the opt-out mechanism.

EPS has launched a tender to prepare a preliminary feasibility study and for general and conceptual designs for the Morava gas-fired power plant. After Morava stops production by the end of 2023, its location will be infrastructurally equipped for construction of a CCGT. The studies will also consider possible installation of a PV power plant at the site.
