Serbian state-owned power utility Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) has announced that intends to convert its Morava power plant from coal to natural gas by the end of 2023.

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.
