Project-level coal details

• Coal source(s): Rembas coal mine, Serbia

Background

In April 2013 Turkish industrial firm Teknotes signed an agreement to build a 320MW lignite-fired power plant and expand a mine in Despotovac. The deal was between Teknotes, the mayor of Despotovac, and the director of state-owned lignite mining firm Resavica. Investment in the project was expected to total over $700 million. A new pit at the Rembas Coal Mine mine will be developed to supply the power plant.

The project was not mentioned in the new energy strategy of Serbia approved by the government in May 2015 and awaiting approval from the parliament.
