Background

The draft "Energy Sector Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia up to 2040 with Projections up to 2050", released in July 2025 and adopted by the Ministry of Mining and Energy in November 2024, mentions construction of a power plant near Nis with a capacity of 150 MW for electricity and 100 MW for heat.[4][5] In November 2024, President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić said in Baku that the government was starting talks with Azerbaijan on a possible joint construction of a 1 GW gas power plant in Niš or two smaller units.[6] In January 2025, it was reported that Serbia was intending to sign a memorandum with Azerbaijan on constructing the gas-fired power plant.[7] The document is expected to be signed during the first meeting of the Strategic Cooperation Council within the framework of President Ilham Aliyev's visit to Belgrade in 2025. The cost of the project is estimated at USD $500 million.[8]
