Montenegro’s Environmental Protection Agency has required Permonte to prepare a full environmental impact assessment for its proposed 120-MW Cevo solar development near Cetinje. The project cannot advance through the environmental approval process until its potential impacts have been assessed. Permonte has two years to prepare and submit the study.
Assessment scope and project design
The assessment will examine the environmental implications of construction and operation. Authorities will decide whether the project can receive final environmental approval after the assessment. Technical documentation envisages a site of about 123 hectares.
The proposed facility would be one of the larger solar developments in the area. Its design specifies 740-W photovoltaic modules connected to 500-kW inverters.
