of forests, Nova Varoš is one of75 top municipalities in Serbia regarding forest land, which makes great potential for the development of wood processing industry and investments in renewable energy sources (primarily biomass). In order to better utilize this
resource, the Municipality plans to construct a cogeneration facility in cooperation with a private partner, to produce heating and
(green) electricity. The plan is to produce ca. 6 million kWh during the first year, and later on increase the amount to 20 million kWh.
Project
Cogeneration biomass facility will produce thermal energy intended for heating in
Nova Varoš and touristic zone Zlatar, and the electricity to be sold to Electric Power Industry of Serbia (EPS). The priority will be production of thermal energy (77%), while
the electricity will account for 23%. The thermal energy capacity is 10 MW, and 2 MW
for electricity. The project involves construction of thermal power lines of nominal pressure of 25 bar with the required number of indirect substations, production of sanitary
hot water, distribution to consumers, improving the energy efficiency, expanding the
use of district heating and attracting new users. Possible form of project realization is
PPP with the elements of concession, where the utility services would be performed by
a special-purpose entity. The agreement is concluded for a period from 5 to 50 years.
Documentation
The Municipality designed a study on potentials and opportunities for commercial
use of wood biomass for production of energy and economic development of
municipalities Nova Varoš, Priboj and Prijepolje.

Market
Supply market: around 7,000 tons of wood chips, the basic input for the work of
this facility, shall be provided by the local sawmills (ca. 86%), Public Enterprise
“Srbijašume – Serbia forests” (12%) and local households (2%). It is estimated that
coniferous wood mass, only, annually creates around 12,800 tons of wood chips.
Placement market: the heating energy will be marketed to the existing and future
district heating users in the Municipality, and the electricity shall be sold to EPS.
