Vetroparkovi i solarne elektrane u regionu: Kako se elektroprivrede transformišu i gde je tu EPS?
Krajem 2025. godine u probni rad pušten je kompletan vetropark Kostolac snage 66 MW, čime je Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) prvi put u svojoj istoriji počela da koristi vetar kao izvor energije.
TL;DR
- Serbia has launched its first wind farm, Kostolac (66 MW), and a solar plant, Petka (10 MW), integrating 76 MW of renewable energy.
- The Kostolac project, a former coal dumping site, transformed into a wind farm, and an exhausted mine into a solar park, symbolizing Serbia's energy transition.
- Slovenia is focusing on solar energy, planning Europe's largest floating solar power plant, while wind energy development is limited.
- North Macedonia was the first in the region to commission a wind farm and has ambitious solar energy plans.
- Montenegro aims for a leadership position in renewables by 2026 with projects like VE Gvozd and the Solari program.
- Croatia's HEP has commissioned the Korlat wind farm and is expanding solar production through independent and integrated solar power plants.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina is developing multiple wind and solar projects, including VE Hrgud and the Trebinje solar plant.
- Albania is diversifying its energy mix by installing solar panels on hydropower dam surfaces, starting with the Qyrsaq solar plant.
- Most regional power companies have opted for European wind turbine manufacturers and rely on international financing, grants, and self-funding for projects up to 100 MW, leaving larger projects to the private sector.
