Montenegro: EPCG plans major solar expansion

EPCG plans to add 200 megawatts of new solar capacity to Montenegro’s electricity network within the next three years. The country has already integrated 70 megawatts from small rooftop solar systems, with this capacity expected to reach 100 megawatts by the end of the year, positioning Montenegro as a regional leader in the prosumer model.

The company has been promoting renewable energy through its Solari initiatives, which focus on expanding rooftop photovoltaic installations. The first phase, launched in late 2021 and completed by the end of 2023, included Solari 3000+ for households and Solari 500+ for businesses, adding 30 megawatts of green energy capacity. The next phase, Solari 5000+, introduced in 2024 with a budget of 70 million euros, aims to install an additional 70 megawatts.

EPCG is also working on the long-anticipated Krusevo hydropower project, which will have a capacity of 82 megawatts and is being developed in collaboration with the French state-owned energy company EDF.

The company has begun preparing technical documentation for several large-scale solar projects, including the 47-megawatt Krupac solar power plant, the 137-megawatt Stedim project, and the Kapino Polje solar complex, which consists of four farms with a combined capacity of 68 megawatts.
