Solar street lamps will soon be installed in Belgrade.

- The Sun the biggest source of energy by far, but its potentials have, so far, not been used enough. The City of Belgrade will be seriously committed to resolving this problem in the years to come, and the first step will be installation of about 50 solar street lamps in several locations in the city. We are carefully monitoring the results of work of so-called heating pumps and there are already ideas that they be used to heat and cool certain facilities - said Goran Trivan, the Secretary for Environment Protection.

The Deputy Director of the Energy Efficiency Agency, Bojan Kovačić, says that this agency, with the support from the Spanish Government, conducts a research on the possibilities of use of solar energy in our country. That is the reason why solar instruments have already been installed in high school of electrical engineering Rade Končar and in another three locations in Serbia.

According to the words of Dejan Stojadinović, the Assistant Minister of Energy and Mining, the Government of Serbia stimulates production and use of that type of energy.

- The Government adopted the decision last year that the Electric Power Company of Serbia must purchase all electric and solar energy from renewable sources at the price of EUR 0.23 per kWh during next 12 years. Introduction of stimuli for production of heating energy is also in the pipeline, while local banks are already granting subsidized loans to the citizens for procurement of solar devices - said Stojadinović.
