Montenegrin state-owned utility EPCG has launched a tender for the main design of the planned 41.8 MW Krupac solar power plant. The contract is estimated at €125,000. The project is located on the shores of Lake Krupac near Niksic.
Project location and decarbonisation context
The photovoltaic facility forms part of EPCG’s broader decarbonization strategy. The utility’s stated aim is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and gradually replace coal-fired generation with renewable energy. This approach is described as aligned with sustainable development objectives and cooperation with the European Union.
Technical concept and grid connection
The planned solar plant will use photovoltaic modules installed on mounting structures and connected into arrays. Electricity will be routed through inverters to low-voltage blocks at the substation. A new 110 kV overhead transmission line will connect the facility to the future 220/110 kV Trubjela substation.
Main design scope and deliverables
The selected contractor will carry out the main design work for the Krupac project. The scope includes architectural and civil works, process engineering, equipment, and electrical installations. The assignment will also cover detailed bills of quantities and a comprehensive estimate of construction costs.
