Serbia’s energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, specifically lignite coal, which accounts for approximately 60-70% of its electricity generation as of early 2026. The country is currently in the early stages of a strategic transition toward renewable energy and potentially nuclear power to meet its 2050 decarbonization goals.

The country aims to commence green hydrogen production by 2025, with usage estimates ranging from 0.5% to 3% by 2035. Projections suggest that 2%–8% of the total electricity produced in Serbia may be used to produce green hydrogen by 2050.

As of February 2026, HyDSerbia is a pilot project under development.
