Belgrade’s electricity distribution network has been strengthened with the commissioning of the 110/35 kV Beograd 44 substation in Surčin, an infrastructure project designed to support rising electricity demand linked to the EXPO 2027 development and surrounding urban expansion.
Completed in just one year of construction, the facility represents an investment of around €23 million. The project was delivered by Elnos as part of broader efforts to expand and modernize the capital’s power infrastructure ahead of several major upcoming developments.
The new substation is set to become one of the key electricity supply points for the future EXPO 2027 complex. It will also support planned energy infrastructure connected to the project, including the upcoming Beograd 58 – National Stadium substation, along with other associated distribution upgrades.
Equipped with two transformers rated at 31.5 MVA each, the facility more than doubles the available distribution capacity in this part of Belgrade, significantly improving local grid reliability and flexibility.
The substation incorporates Siemens technology and operates as a fully automated facility with remote control capabilities from a central dispatch center. According to distribution system operator EDS, the use of advanced technical solutions has significantly reduced the physical footprint of the installation, allowing it to occupy far less space than a conventional substation of comparable capacity.
