Adaptation

It includes works that do not change the size and appearance of the facilities, nor the dimensions and important technical characteristics of the equipment.

Rehabilitation

It includes works that are caused by a breakdown or breakdown of facilities or equipment

Note:

In the case of larger investments, which imply construction or reconstruction, which imply changes in the facility and/or technological process, designers engaged in the development of the preliminary or main project must have a state license.

Before starting the works, they should be reported to the construction inspection.

Law on Planning and Construction (Official Gazette of RS, No. 72/2009),

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF FINANCING

Loans from commercial banks

It is the most common and most expensive form of financing.

Short-term loans (up to one year) – working capital is usually financed

Long-term loans (over one year) – investments in fixed assets.

Funds

They are financed from the budget.

Unlike banks, they are not profitable institutions but put the interest of the social community in the foreground (increasing the number of employees, especially in underdeveloped areas, infrastructure development, solving environmental problems, etc.).

Financing through joint ventures

It represents the best economic type of financing if the investor company does not have enough own funds. The interests of the co-investors are realized by the contract through the distribution of profits in the proportion of the invested funds.

Financing through recapitalization

It is characteristic of joint-stock companies. It is done through the issuance of shares in order to increase capital, ie additional long-term sources of financing.

Investments of other legal entities and individuals

They are characteristic of primary agricultural producers. Lenders are usually processors who thus provide themselves with the necessary raw materials for processing. This type of financing has a short-term character.

Financing through commodity exchanges

It is characteristic of agriculture. The commodity exchange has the character of a source of financing if it organizes the sale of agricultural products during their production, ie. before the products reach the market. In our country, stock exchanges mainly trade in finished products, which is not considered financing, but the realization of finished products.

Government subsidies

These are grants awarded during the life of the project, which serves to achieve cost-effective production. They are intended for types of products for which the state has an interest in being produced in certain quantities because they have wider social and social consequences (primary agricultural production, livestock, milk,… ..)

Incentives for investment in renewable energy sources

In the investment phase

Loans with stimulative interest, longer repayment period and grace period, but these loans are only occasionally current.

In the operation phase of the plant

Serbia

Feed-in tariffs for the production of electricity from renewable sources.

European Union

Feed-in tariffs for the production of electricity from renewable sources.

Green certificates to stimulate electricity production (each user

renewable energy sources receive certificates), and users of fossil fuels must buy the appropriate number of certificates each year, or pay some kind of penalty, which is higher than the value of the purchased certificates. Certificates are sold and bought on the green certificate exchange.

CO2 certificates (carbon credits) to encourage reduced carbon emissions.

Note: Each EU country regulates this area in the way it considers most efficient, and certificates can be traded, ie. to be sold or bought outside the borders of states, their price changes depending on supply and demand.

Where to look for sources of funding

The website of the Government of the Republic of Serbia contains a “Guide through potential domestic and foreign sources of funding” for projects of NGOs, local governments, small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs. “

You can also “go” to the sites of banks, funds and numerous agencies that monitor monetary policy.
