In the assessment that there is an alternative to the construction of the Thermal Power Plant “Kolubara B”, the expert public in Serbia is unanimous, however, when it comes to whether the project should be abandoned, opinions are completely opposite.
The topic of the continuation of the construction of TPP “Kolubara B”, which started 35 years ago and which has been taken care of in the meantime, came into the public spotlight again after the meeting of the Trade Union “Mining Basin Kolubara” held in protest that project.
The management of that union believes that Zorana Mihajlovic, the minister at the head of that department, not only wants to give up the construction of TPP “Kolubara B”, but also to advocate the abolition of all thermal units for electricity production in Serbia by 2030 at the latest.
As a reminder, the Electric Power Industry of Serbia and the Chinese company Power China signed a preliminary agreement on cooperation in the construction of TPP “Kolubara B”. The estimated value of that investment is around 385 million euros.
