Money spins instead of turbines

AD EPS will spend the same amount of money for the import of coal this year for five million tons as for the complete production from RB Kolubara (something around 22 million tons). This will increase the producer price of the final product of EPS, electricity, by 50 percent, because those 27 million tons cost twice as much as if all 27 million tons were produced in Kolubara

The government's new energy policy weighs 12 billion euros

The thesis that is mentioned in the public that EPS, if only there was enough coal, could have earned a billion euros from exporting electricity is wrong.

On the contrary, due to very poor hydrology and despite the full production of electricity from coal, Serbia would still have to import smaller amounts of electricity. That is why the priority is to build new capacities, the only question is - which ones

Looking to 2022: Serbia in the hands of the "mice"

Although Milorad Grcic really leaves the head of the EPS, he will be replaced by a new Mica, who should first ask politics for everything, i.e. the party, i.e. leader, well, if the directive is not in accordance with the economic interest of the company, so much the worse for the company. Due to such a systemic personnel policy of SNS in state enterprises, it is difficult to give an economic forecast in Serbia for the next year

EPS report: They are guilty, kanda, saboteurs and third columnists

EPS announces that due to "unexplained circumstances" and "deliberate errors in work", the police and security services will be looking for those responsible for the collapse of TENT. The investigation, therefore, will go in the direction of some third columnists and saboteurs, and not the completely incompetent progressive cadre, which includes acting director Milorad Grcic himself.

Thermal power plant "Nikola Tesla": Restrictions in the announcement

"Postponing investment repairs, both mines and mining equipment, is the constant action of the CEO of Elekroprivreda Srbija Milorad Grčić. Over time, tailings removal was reduced to scratching, regular annual overhauls were skipped as much as possible, and all forces were focused on coal production, because the boss likes big numbers." This was written more than four years ago in the text "Restrictions in the announcement" by "Vremena" journalist Zoran Majdin. It was as if he was writing today
