Montenegro has granted a construction permit for the 97 MW Tupan solar power plant near Nikšić, a major planned photovoltaic development. Developer S2P Tupan received the permit from the Ministry of Spatial Planning after securing environmental approval in April and signing a grid connection agreement with transmission system operator CGES in March. The project site is near the village of Tupan in western Montenegro.
Design and construction timetable
Approved plans specify 131,568 photovoltaic panels across 13 zones, along with substations and supporting electrical infrastructure. The permit allows two years for construction to begin and requires the project to be completed within five years. S2P Tupan was established in June 2023 as a subsidiary of Switzerland-based S2P Electric. The project adds to Montenegro’s expanding pipeline of utility-scale solar developments, as investors seek to harness the country’s renewable resources and strengthen generation beyond its traditional hydropower and coal portfolio.
