A grid connection agreement for the Vraćenovići solar power project was signed with Montenegro’s transmission system operator CGES in the summer of 2024. The connection capacity is 87.5 MW, with commissioning planned for 2028. The developer is Agenos Energy, a firm registered in Podgorica, Montenegro’s capital.
The construction of the Vraćenovići solar power plant is planned in a hilly area in the southern part of the Nikšić municipality, around 38 kilometers from the city center, according to the study.
The plant is to be connected to the existing 110 kV transmission line
The future power plant is to be connected to the existing 110 kV Nikšić–Bileća transmission line, which runs through the plots designated for the project. The presence of the transmission line enables a technically straightforward and economically viable grid connection. The plant’s operating life is estimated at 25 to 30 years, according to the study.
The project developer is required to carry out all activities related to the construction of the solar power plant in accordance with the environmental protection measures set out in the study, reads the decision approving the study.
The Environmental Protection Agency has also approved the EIA study for the Tupan solar power plant, with a planned installed capacity of 90 MW. This plant will also be built in the municipality of Nikšić, and a grid connection agreement was signed earlier this month.
The agreement was signed with Switzerland-based S2P Electric GMBH Rümlang. The firm is owned by SS&A Power Group, which has signed a memorandum of understanding on thermal energy storage with Montenegro’s state-owned power utility Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG). It has also completed a feasibility study for gas power plants in Montenegro.
