The Provincial Secretariat for Urban Planning and Environmental Protection has initiated a public consultation on the draft spatial plan for the Samos wind farm, which will span the municipalities of Alibunar and Kovacica. The consultation period will remain open until 20 August.
Once completed, the Samos wind farm will consist of 142 turbines with a total capacity of 923 MW, making it the largest renewable energy project in Serbia to date. The wind farm will cover approximately 2,255 hectares of agricultural land across multiple cadastral zones. The project is being developed by AAEC Energy Consulting, a company fully owned by Arhitektura Atelje, led by Lazar Lazendic, who also acts as the project director for WV-International in Serbia. WV-International previously sold the Alibunar 1 and 2 wind farms to the Chinese developer SANY Renewable Energy.
The Samos wind farm will be constructed in two phases. The first phase will install at least 423 MW of capacity, followed by a second phase adding an additional 500 MW. Turbines are expected to exceed 250 meters in height, with individual capacities of 8 MW or more. Supporting infrastructure will include internal roads, network connections, transformer stations, underground cables, battery storage units, and meteorological monitoring equipment.
Located near the operational Kovacica (104.5 MW) and Pupin (100 MW) wind farms, and adjacent to the planned 220 MW Crepaja site, the Samos project marks a significant expansion of Serbia’s wind energy sector.
