Fortis Energy Secures Permits for 509.4MW Wind Projects in Serbia

Fortis Energy has obtained preliminary permits for three wind projects in Serbia, with a combined capacity of 509.4MW. These projects are expected to generate 1.5 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable energy annually, enough to power 750,000 households. EMS (Elektromreža Srbija) has issued formal statements regarding the electricity grid connection for Fortis’ 171MW Vranje wind park and 194.4MW Gornjak wind park projects. The preliminary licence process for the 144MW Juhor wind park project is ongoing.

The plants will prevent the emission of 350,000 tons of carbon emissions annually. Wind measurements and preliminary wind resource assessments for the sites are currently underway. The €550 million investment will bolster a comprehensive value chain, including civil works, electrical engineering, logistics, maintenance, security, and telecommunications.

In July 2024, Fortis Energy expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of a 180MW solar project with a battery energy storage system (BESS) in Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia. This photovoltaic asset, coupled with a 36MWh BESS, is set to become one of the largest solar power plants and energy storage systems in southeastern Europe. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025.

In April 2024, Fortis Energy entered into a strategic partnership with Hopewind, leveraging Fortis Energy’s project management and engineering expertise with Hopewind’s advanced products.
