EPS, Serbia’s state-owned utility, has launched a public tender for professional supervision of construction works at the 66 MW Kostolac wind farm. The contract is estimated at approximately €275,000. The tender covers oversight activities during the construction phase.
Oversight requirements and legal compliance
EPS said stronger supervision is needed because of significant construction delays and deviations from the original project schedule. The selected contractor will be required to carry out supervision in line with Serbia’s Law on Planning and Construction and related regulations. The supervisor will also coordinate with teams already engaged on the project.
Daily monitoring, reporting and coordination
The supervision contractor will monitor construction activities on a daily basis. It will verify the quality of materials and equipment, review the construction log, and prepare weekly, monthly and final reports. The assignment includes coordination with the FIDIC engineer, the previously appointed supervision team, and the construction contractor.
Notification of irregularities and schedule deviations
The contractor will be required to promptly notify EPS of irregularities, potential risks and deviations from the construction schedule. This notification requirement is intended to allow EPS to take corrective action where necessary.
Kostolac wind farm within EPS renewable strategy
EPS said the Kostolac wind farm forms part of its broader strategy to increase renewable energy generation. The project is also linked to Serbia’s national energy and decarbonization objectives.
