Power systems in the Western Balkans are at a crossroads, where growing supply uncertainties and price fluctuations necessitate new models of production and consumption. In this new energy dynamic, the role of the prosumer – citizens and companies that not only consume but also produce energy – is becoming increasingly significant.
In this context, at an online panel discussion „Prosumers and energy security in Serbia“ (Friday, November 8; 11:00 AM; Teams platform) we seek answers to important questions such as: What is the role of prosumers in energy security and the green transition? What is the situation in Serbia compared to the EU and the countries of the Western Balkans? What are the most common challenges for households, what are the procedures, and is it economically viable to be a prosumer in Serbia?
Panelists will also discuss the topics of the prosumer's status in the economy and the concept of the Active Customer, with the aim of the discussion being to provide concrete priorities, recommendations, and guidelines for improving the prosumer's status in Serbia.
The panel discussion is organized within the framework of the regional project “SMART Balkans – Civil Society for Shared Society in the Western Balkans”.
