Montenegro’s renewable energy landscape is poised for significant growth as the Environmental Protection Agency initiates a review of the environmental documentation for a major solar power initiative. The project, developed by Agenos Energy, aims to establish a 100 MW solar power plant in the municipality of Nikšić, specifically near the village of Vraćenovići.
The proposed site spans approximately 584,000 square meters, indicating a substantial investment in solar infrastructure that aligns with Montenegro’s energy diversification goals. The environmental impact assessment submitted by Agenos Energy is now under scrutiny, marking a critical step in the regulatory process.
Preparation for the Vraćenovići project has progressed significantly, evidenced by the grid connection agreement signed with CGES, Montenegro’s transmission system operator, in 2024. This agreement suggests that the solar facility could be operational by 2028, pending successful approval from regulatory authorities.
If realized, the Vraćenovići solar park would rank among the largest solar installations in Montenegro, enhancing the country’s renewable energy capacity and contributing to its commitment to sustainable energy development. The project reflects growing momentum within Montenegro’s energy sector as it seeks to increase reliance on renewable sources and reduce carbon emissions.
