Summary/Abstract: Promotion of electricity generation out of renewable energy sources started more intensively in the Republic of Serbia and after that adoption of new laws related to that field commenced. Having in mind the significance of the issue related to renewable energy sources, it is necessary that everyone who deals with this topic at its work, should be acquainted with the meaning and significance of renewable energy sources in a broader sense, i.e. to understand what is exactly and what was defined by the above mentioned legislation. Alternative energy sources are energy sources that are not gained by burning fossil fuels (energy sources that originated from earth crust by decomposition of organic material such as petrol, coal and natural gas) so that alternative energy does not have to be renewable energy source at the same time: for example nuclear energy, combined power plants and hydrogen, whilst energy from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar energy, geothermal and hydro energy, energy of tides and waves, as well as bio fuels leads to more efficient use of own potentials in generation of electricity, reduction of green house gases emissions, reduction of fossil fuels import, development of local industry and creation of new workplaces.
