Montenegro is set to enhance its renewable energy infrastructure as plans advance for a new 64.8 MW wind farm in the Podgorica region, spearheaded by Qair Montenegro. The project has recently received approval from the Montenegrin government, which has sanctioned the draft urban and technical conditions necessary for its development.
The proposed Momče wind farm will occupy approximately 51.6 hectares north of the capital and will feature nine wind turbines, each with a capacity of 7.2 MW. This initiative represents a significant addition to Qair’s growing portfolio of renewable energy projects in Montenegro.
Qair, a subsidiary of the French renewable energy group Qair International, is actively investing in both solar and wind energy across Montenegro. Among its notable projects is the 50 MW Rudine solar power plant, located near Nikšić. This facility, valued at around €40 million, obtained an environmental permit in early 2025 and subsequently signed a grid connection agreement with the transmission system operator, CGES. The Rudine project is expected to commence commercial operations by the end of 2028.
The company is also planning two additional solar power plants in the Nikšić area: the Petrovići and Jabuka, each designed with a capacity of 60 MW. These developments illustrate Qair’s commitment to expanding renewable energy resources within Montenegro.
The advancement of the Momče wind farm underscores the accelerating growth of renewable energy initiatives in Montenegro, contributing to a diverse mix of wind and solar projects that are poised to reshape the nation’s electricity landscape. As these developments unfold, they will play a crucial role in meeting future energy demands while aligning with regional sustainability goals.
