The development of a significant solar power project near Nikšić, known as the Tupan solar power plant, has achieved a critical regulatory milestone as it enters the environmental approval phase. The Environmental Protection Agency has confirmed receipt of the formal environmental impact assessment for the project.
Located near the village of Tupan, this proposed facility is designed to occupy over 1.56 million square meters and will incorporate more than 129,000 photovoltaic modules. Approximately half of this area will be utilized for the solar panels themselves, while the remaining space will be dedicated to access roads, infrastructure, and buffer zones essential for operational safety and compliance.
The project is spearheaded by S2P Tupan, a newly established local company focused on engineering services and technical consulting. The ownership structure features a private investor holding a majority stake alongside a Swiss energy firm, indicating a robust backing for this renewable energy initiative.
Should the environmental assessment receive approval, the Tupan solar power plant is poised to become a vital contributor to Montenegro’s renewable electricity supply, enhancing Nikšić’s strategic role in the nation’s broader energy transition efforts.
