Using Slovak good practices, project experts delivered 48 training sessions and conducted three specialised study visits for the Serbian colleagues in order to strengthen the capacity of the Energy Agency to develop and implement regulatory policies and strategies as well as to oversee the necessary reforms in the energy sector.

Special attention was given to upgrading of the price regulation capacity of AERS, pricing methodologies and tariff systems were approved and implemented in compliance with EU energy legislation and best regulatory practices. Where necessary  and in order to achieve compliance with the new energy law and applicable EU legislation, as well as with best regulatory practice, new or amended pricing methodologies were prepared by AERS, taking into consideration results of joint working groups.

AERSAt present, as a result of the project, the applicable methodologies are in compliance with the EU legislation. Activity report was elaborated, providing recommendations for integration of quality of supply in the price regulation. Capacity of AERS related to national energy markets was strengthened and a market surveillance methodology was developed including recommendations for enhancing the functioning of Serbian energy markets. In addition, the project also strengthened the AERS capacity related to the regional energy markets and cooperation at the regional level and upgraded the regulatory framework for smart meter roll-out and quality of supply monitoring. The review report on functional requirements for smart meters defined in transmission and distribution grid codes was prepared including proposals for enhancing and amending the relevant provisions of the grid codes. Rules on quality of supply monitoring were adopted by AERS in December 2013.

 The AERS capacity related to renewable energy sources was upgraded, review on current legal framework and operational practices for investment of renewable energy sources was elaborated, as well as a report on mitigation of barriers for investment in renewable energy sources was developed.

 Enhancing the AERS organisational and management capacity was important part of project implementation. In this respect, functional analysis was conducted taking into consideration AERS competencies related to the new Energy Law and Management Plan for AERS identifying recommended changes in organisational and functional structure, staff number, skill needs and other resource requirements was prepared and will be implemented in the upcoming months.

The project results are seen by the beneficiary as an important step towards further strengthening the AERS as national energy regulator as well towards meeting future challenges arising from the implementation of the valid EU energy legislation.
