Jurisdiction

Energy Law (“Official Gazette of RS”, No. 145/14 and 95/18 –another law) proscribes the jurisdiction of local self-government unit, i.e. the City of Belgrade in the field of heat. Therefore, the Energy Agency has no jurisdiction in the field of heat.

Pursuant to the Articles 345-366 of the Energy Law, local self-government units, i.e. the City of Belgrade are competent for:

  • issuance and withdrawal of licences for heat production, distribution and supply, keeping registry of issued licences and registry of heat producers with power from 0.1 MW to 1 MW,
  • setting conditions for heat delivery and supply in this area, rights and obligations of heat producers, distributers, suppliers and final customers,

This law defines the Government jurisdiction in:
