Montenegro has extended the development timetable for the 112 MW Sinjajevina I wind farm, moving the expected commercial operation target toward 2030. The revised schedule reflects ongoing permitting and grid infrastructure constraints. The project is located near Kolašin.
Government annex adjusts development and construction deadlines
The government approved an annex to its agreement with developer consortium Energy 2. Under the amendment, the development phase can last up to 36 months from the original contract date. Construction can run for up to 60 months after issuance of a building permit.
Project scope and environmental approval status
The Sinjajevina I project near Kolašin will include 17 turbines. It received environmental approval in August 2025. The timetable change links the commissioning schedule to both administrative steps and transmission-related works.
Transmission infrastructure and asset acquisition by CGES
A major component of the project involves transmission infrastructure. Energy 2 is expected to build a 35/110 kV substation, a 110 kV line, and the Kolašin 110/400 kV substation. CGES would subsequently acquire these assets for about €40 million.
Land lease and building permit application dates
Energy 2 secured a 30-year land lease in October 2023. The company submitted its building permit application in July 2026. The revised timetable also reflects how permitting procedures and grid works are shaping timelines for Montenegro’s next renewable projects.
