Struja je zbog lošeg stanja u EPS-u veći problem od gasa
Elektroprivreda Srbije je godinama žrtva političkih intervencija, kadrovskih eksperimenata i odlaganja sistemskih investicija. Najteži udarac nije došao spolja, već iznutra, smenom stručnih ljudi. Proizvodnja pada, rezerve ugalja nikada nisu bile niže, pa se tokom svakog ozbiljnijeg hladnog talasa struja uvozi po berzanskim cenama, koje su vrlo nestabilne
TL;DR
- Serbia and Europe are at risk of a new energy crisis due to flawed political decisions.
- Serbia's Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) is suffering from political interventions, staffing experiments, and delayed investments, leading to reduced production and low coal reserves.
- Europe's energy system, despite appearing modernized, is unstable due to strategic errors, miscalculations, and external political factors.
- Ukraine's diminished electricity production has forced it to import significant amounts from the EU, revealing Europe's lack of reserves.
- Europe's diversification strategy for gas relies on unreliable sources like Azerbaijan, Central Asia, and the global LNG market, all of which present challenges.
- Russia is redirecting gas flows to China, potentially impacting Europe's supply.
- Europe's reliance on intermittent energy sources like wind and solar, coupled with the closure of nuclear plants, makes it vulnerable.
- Serbia has a stable gas supply due to geopolitical circumstances and long-term contracts, but its electricity sector (EPS) is severely weakened by internal political issues.
- The article criticizes the political narrative in Serbia that downplays energy sector weaknesses.
- Urgent consolidation of EPS, return of expertise, and accelerated investments in baseload capacity are needed for Serbia's energy security.
