At the Annual General Assembly of the Association of Consulting Firms (HELLASCO) (15/12/2022 Athens, Greece), following the discussions made among distinguished speakers on the prospect for the development of the Consulting Sector, Mr Leonidas Damianidis, President of LDK Consultants and member of HELLASCO gave a seminal and concise speech to members of the Association and representatives of Greek Ministries and other Institutions.
‘’Since 1968, LDK Consultants supports its vision and values for growth, sustainable development, and excellence for the benefit of the people. According to our experience, the current energy crisis, like the one back in 1973, and its crucial impact to the economy, environment and infrastructure, can be an opportunity on a microeconomic to a macroeconomic level.
Every consulting company should make a short-term and long-term business plan according to the progress made in research, technology, economy, while taking into account the needs of the society. Extroversion and networking are also key elements to expand one’s business, undertaking and delivering state-of-the-art projects for national, but most of all, international organisations, and institutions. Dear colleagues, every step we make in our business activity needs to be guided by the principles of sustainable development and the provision of a better future to the next generations!’’

As part of the EU-funded project “Further Development of Energy Planning Capacity”, that LDK Consultants is implementing, Serbia is preparing the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP).
The NECP takes into account the five dimensions of the Energy Union Governance Regulation and defines the 2030 targets that will lead to a greater share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix, an increase in energy efficiency, a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG), further development of the internal energy market, enhancement of the energy security, and will also stimulate research, innovation and competitiveness.
Public Consultation for NECP and SEA will be launched soon
The draft NECP is completed and the public consultation (among civil society organizations as well as citizens, business entities, universities and academia) will start early 2023. The draft NECP will be submitted to the Energy Community Secretariat and to the governments of neighboring countries for cross-border consultations.
In parallel, the draft Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment (SEA) on NECP, will also be subject to public consultation.
Extensive and transparent target-setting process for the Serbian Energy and Climate Policy
The elaboration of the draft NECP was a 2 year-long process that involved the development of a set of interlinked modelling tools to provide analytical insights for the decision-making process of the NECP and the development and examination of 33 different scenarios, with more than 90 variations on energy and climate planning until 2030, and with a projection until 2050.
At least 7 rounds of scenarios preparation performed, have been based on the modelling capacities for improving the energy and climate planning process - Serbian Energy Modelling System (SEMS), a tool for macroeconomic analysis (based on MANAGE) and a tool for a high level of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) participation (based on ANTARES) for analyzing the possibility of including a large amount of RES in the power system.
More than 600 model-runs were performed, followed by the preparation of 7 modelling results reports, as well as 12 Working Group Meetings and about 50 bilateral meetings held. The process involved the engagement of a Working Group consisting of a large number of stakeholders from the public and private sectors and civil society organizations.
Strategic Framework
The Energy Sector Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia will be prepared with a horizon of the year 2040 with projections up to 2050. The Energy strategy will take into account the report on National Determined Contribution and the draft bill on the Carbon Development Strategy.
