Serbian state-owned utility EPS has launched procurement for additional professional supervision at the 66 MW Kostolac wind farm. The contract is valued at approximately €275,000. The procurement was launched on 5 September 2025.
Scope of the supervision contract
The supervision decision follows substantial delays and deviations from the original construction schedule. EPS said the strengthened oversight is intended to support construction quality and safety and improve control over implementation. The selected contractor will monitor works on a daily basis.
The contractor will verify the quality of materials and equipment used in the project. It will also review construction records and prepare weekly, monthly and final reports. The supervision team will coordinate with the FIDIC engineer, existing supervisors and the principal contractor.
Reporting and escalation requirements
A central requirement for the supervision team is rapid escalation of irregularities, risks and timetable slippage to EPS. This is linked to the need for tighter control over project progress amid schedule deviations. Kostolac is part of EPS’s programme to increase renewable capacity within a generation portfolio historically dominated by coal.
Delays at the project therefore affect when new renewable generation can enter Serbia’s electricity system.
