ABSTRACT
The subject of this paper is to present an investigation of renewable energy potential in one small
municipality in south Serbia. Serbia has a relatively small area but a large number of renewable energy
resources. This energy is divided into solar, wind, geothermal and waste wood. One municipality on the
south east has very large potential for the renewable energy utilization. The municipality of Kuršumlija
has an area of 952 km2 but with poor dense of the population. In this municipality we have one of the
most powerful resources of the renewable energy, estimated on 118.5 MWt. With the help of different
methods such as GIS (Geographical Information System), numerical and geo-statistical analyses, were
analyzed total capacity of the renewable energy. Other relevant documents are the municipality strategy
documents, satellite recordings, cadaster data, analogue plans and maps. The estimated capacity of
geothermal energy with included 23 springs may reach 25.5 MWt. The waste wood estimated capacity
is may reach 1123.5 TJ/year or 35.6 MWt. The solar potential may reach 1810.8 Tj/year or 57.4 MWt.
The main goal of this research is to present renewable energy potential of the municipality and compare
it with dirty kinds of energy. Other goals are to present benefits and advantages of the utilization of
renewable energy sources. This research is also important to present to the broader readership and it can
be the start initiative for deeper investigation of renewable energy resources.
