In addition to a €200 million solar power plant, a wind farm with a total installed capacity of 72.6 MW will be built in Korita, a village in northern Montenegro’s Bijelo Polje municipality. The project is led by Vjetro Park Korita, which submitted an environmental impact assessment (EIA) to the Environmental Protection Agency.
The wind farm will consist of 11 wind turbines located along the limestone ridge of Žilindar and surrounding hills such as Karadžino brdo and Moravski krš, at altitudes above 1,500 meters. The total land area covered by the project is approximately 162 hectares, with just 3.3 hectares used for the turbines themselves.
A 400 kV transmission line—about 27.8 kilometers long—will connect the new Korita substation to the existing Ribarevine distribution point. The line will include 92 towers and traverse meadows and forests, affecting roughly 611,600 square meters of land.
The site overlaps with an approved solar power project that already underwent an EIA and has official approval. Four of the land parcels are state-owned and have been leased to a consortium made up of Vjetro Park Korita, Sistem-MNE, and PerMonte under a 30-year agreement.
