Montenegro’s state-owned utility EPCG has launched a tender for preparatory construction and engineering activities linked to the Krupac solar power plant. The procurement covers initial works valued at approximately €1.72 million. Bids are due by 10 July, and the selected contractor must complete the assignment within a maximum of 180 days.
Tender scope and timeline for preparatory works
The tender forms part of a wider preparatory phase estimated at around €6.7 million. The planned activities are intended to prepare the groundwork for the subsequent construction phase of the planned solar facility. The procurement is structured around early-stage engineering and construction-related tasks.
Planned site near Lake Krupac and project scale
The future solar park is planned near Lake Krupac in the Nikšić region. It is expected to cover approximately 118 hectares across three separate sites. Once operational, the project is designed as a 41.8 MW solar plant with expected annual generation of around 62 GWh.
Main design documentation prepared under earlier contract
Earlier this year, EPCG awarded a contract to the local engineering firm Greener to prepare the main project design documentation. The resulting study is set to provide the basis for later development steps and the eventual construction of the facility. This design work is part of the broader preparation for the Krupac project.
Investment estimate and role in Montenegro’s renewables expansion
Earlier estimates place total investment in the Krupac solar power plant at about €28 million. The project is described as part of EPCG’s broader strategy to expand renewable energy capacity in Montenegro. It also aims to increase the share of solar power in the national electricity mix as part of long-term energy transition goals.
