Enlight Renewable Energy has officially opened the 104.5 MW Kovacica wind farm, the largest operational wind farm of its kind in Serbia.
The construction of the wind farm started in 2017. In July 2019, the plant obtained privileged producer status and was fully connected to the electricity transmission system. In 2012 Electrawinds K-Wind started developing the Kovacica wind farm, equipped with 38 General Electric 2.75-120 type wind turbines. A 15-year full-service agreement is also part of the deal between GE Renewable Energy and Enlight Renewable Energy.
The wind farm will supply electricity to 68,000 households, reducing CO2 emissions by almost 250,000 tonnes per year and was constructed with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Erste Bank, as well as Serbia's central government.
