EPS has invited bids for a feasibility study and technical documentation for a solar PV project at the TENT A ash landfill in Serbia
The selected bidder will assess the technical and economic viability of developing a solar plant on the former ash disposal site
The deadline for submitting bids is January 23, 2026, according to the tender call
Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS), the state power utility of Serbia, has invited bids for the preparation of a feasibility study and technical documentation for a solar power plant to be located at the ash disposal site at the Nikola Tesla A thermal power plant (TPP).
The utility requires the applicants to present the feasibility and viability of a PV project on the TENT A ash landfill. The last date for bid submission is January 23, 2026, as per the call issued.
Nikola Tesla A TPP comprises 6 units with 1.76 GW of installed capacity, while Nikola Tesla B TPP operates 2 units with 1.3 GW. The complex also hosts 5 units with a total capacity of 239 MW (Kolubara) and a single unit with 125 MW (Morava), making it the largest coal-fired power plant in Southeast Europe.
In July 2025, EPS inaugurated its maiden PV project, the 10 MW Petka Solar Plant, on the site of an old mining dump in Kostolac.
To meet its target of achieving a 45% share of renewable energy in its total electricity mix by 2030, Serbia has been promoting renewable energy in the country through a competitive auction mechanism. Over a 3-year period, the country targets to auction 1 GW of wind and 300 MW of solar capacity.
In the 1st such round concluded in 2023, it awarded 400 MW of wind and 11.6 MW out of 50 MW solar on offer (see Serbia Concludes Renewable Energy Auction). In February 2025, it concluded the country’s 2nd renewable energy auction round for market premiums, allocating 645 MW of wind and solar capacity (see Serbia Awards 645 MW Wind & Solar Capacity In Oversubscribed Auction).
