In a significant advancement for renewable energy in Serbia, the country’s Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure has issued a building permit for the Jasikovo wind project. This development allows local investor Jasikovo to initiate construction on what is poised to be a key addition to the country’s energy landscape.
The project entails the installation of 13 wind turbines, each reaching a height of 199.5 meters, situated across the municipalities of Majdanpek and Zagubica. Complementing the turbines will be a 33/110 kV transformer station, a 10 kV switching facility (PRP 10 kV), and approximately 16 kilometers of internal cable infrastructure, which will connect the turbines to the broader electrical network.
The estimated cost for this ambitious project is around €67.3 million, excluding VAT. However, it is important to note that the permit is contingent upon construction formally commencing within three years from its legal effectiveness. Additionally, while this approval facilitates turbine installation, it does not encompass network and telecommunications connections. The investor must demonstrate connectivity to existing infrastructure, ensure compliance with professional construction oversight, and address any outstanding property-rights issues related to certain land parcels before obtaining an operating license.
<pThe Jasikovo wind farm has been recognized as a competitive player in Serbia’s renewable energy sector, having secured fifth place in the recent renewable energy auction for market premiums, conducted by the Ministry of Mining and Energy. This positioning underscores its potential impact on Serbia’s transition towards sustainable energy sources and highlights its role among the country’s emerging wind projects.
