In a significant step towards enhancing its renewable energy landscape, Serbia is moving forward with plans for a large wind power project spearheaded by WPP Black Mud, a subsidiary of the Portuguese renewable energy group Greenvolt. The project is currently undergoing a preliminary environmental review as mandated by Serbia’s Ministry of Environmental Protection, which has initiated a screening procedure to assess whether a full environmental impact assessment will be necessary.
The proposed Crni Kao and Rujiste wind project, located in the municipality of Ražanj, is poised to cover around 1,134 hectares. It aims to install up to 25 wind turbines with an anticipated total capacity of approximately 180 MW. This project represents a crucial addition to Serbia’s renewable energy capacity, aligning with regional goals for sustainable energy development.
Current projections suggest that construction could commence later this year, contingent upon the results of the permitting process and subsequent regulatory approvals. The commissioning of the facility is targeted for 2027, marking an important milestone in Serbia’s transition towards more sustainable energy sources.
Established in 2022, WPP Black Mud operates under the Greenvolt Power Group, which has been expanding its footprint in renewable energy across various European markets. The group’s increasing portfolio includes both wind and solar projects, reflecting a strategic focus on diversifying energy sources and enhancing sustainability within the region.
