Construction has officially started on Alibunar 1 and Alibunar 2 wind farms in Serbia. The combined project is valued at around €240 million and is being developed by Chinese company SANY. The Alibunar programme is described as a new phase in renewable energy investment in the country.
The two wind farms are expected to reach commercial operation before the end of 2028. Together, they are projected to generate approximately 460 GWh of electricity annually. The additional output is intended to add clean power volume to Serbia’s electricity system.
SANY’s first Central and Eastern Europe renewable investment
The Alibunar projects represent SANY’s first renewable energy investment in Central and Eastern Europe. The company selected the Alibunar region based on strong and consistent wind conditions. The investment is also positioned as an entry point into the Serbian and broader regional energy market.
PowerChina, which is also involved in the development, said the project reflects strengthening cooperation between Serbia and China in the renewable energy sector. It pointed specifically to collaboration in large-scale infrastructure and power generation projects.
Alibunar wind pipeline expands ahead of 2028
Alibunar has increasingly emerged as one of Serbia’s key wind development zones. By 2028, four wind farms are expected to be operational in the municipality. Additional projects are already in preparation, indicating a growing concentration of wind capacity in the area.
The Alibunar 1 and Alibunar 2 projects are set to expand Serbia’s renewable generation base as wind power is scaled up. They are also part of efforts to diversify Serbia’s electricity mix.
