Montenegro's TSO agrees to connect 87.5 MW of new solar

Montenegro’s transmission system operator (TSO) CGES has agreed to connect a new, 87.5-MW solar farm to its grid, the company has announced.

CGES and Agenos Energy, a Montenegro-based energy firm with Turkish owners, signed an agreement earlier in August to build a substation in the village of Vilusi and connect the solar farm to the network from there.

The solar farm, called Vracenovici, will be located in the namesake village near the border of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It will be plugged into the Vilusi 220/110 kV substation, which is planned to serve as a connection point for several power plants in the wider area around Vilusi, CGES said.

Commissioning of the Vracenovici solar farm is scheduled for 2028.
