Installed capacity — Serbia
What Serbia could produce with everything running at once: installed capacity by source, as reported for 2026, next to how much has actually run.
| Source | Capacity (MW) | Of total |
|---|---|---|
| Lignite | 6,011−110 | 53.8% |
| Run-of-river hydro | 2,055 | 18.4% |
| Onshore wind | 1,106+366 | 9.9% |
| Pumped-storage hydro | 642 | 5.7% |
| Natural gas | 611+2 | 5.5% |
| Hydro reservoir | 487+3 | 4.4% |
| Solar | 185+112 | 1.7% |
| Other sources | 33 | 0.3% |
| Waste | 32 | 0.3% |
| Biomass | 2 | 0.0% |
How much ran at once
The highest output delivered at a single moment over the past twelve months, by source group, next to the installed capacity.
Of 11,165 MW installed, the most that ever ran at one moment was 6,021 MW — 54% of the fleet, on 02/02/2026, 18:00:00.
- Coal 3,209/ 6,011 MW 53%
- Hydro 2,710/ 3,184 MW 85%
- Wind 688/ 1,106 MW 62%
- Gas 286/ 611 MW 47%
- Other 33/ 65 MW 51%
- Biomass 56/ 2 MW 2,353%
The peak is read from our own generation archive, not estimated: it is a lower bound on what the fleet can do. A small ratio means the group's sources never all ran together — reservoir hydro starts at peak demand, thermal plants sit idle when they are not called. A ratio above one hundred means the declared capacity has fallen behind: the figure is declared at the start of the year while new units come online during it. Groups are compared here rather than individual source types: the same source can report capacity under lignite and generation under coal, and at group level the two meet.

The figures come from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform: installed generation capacity by production type. The year is the one the operator reports for, not the year the figure was published.
Two things are not here: the number of installations per source, and batteries as a source of their own. The aggregated report does not carry them, and batteries fall under “other”. They appear the day the source publishes them separately.
