Ministry of Mining and Energy launched a public call for the strategic partner for the construction of self-balanced large-capacity solar power plants with battery systems for electricity storage in Serbia.
The goal of implementing the strategic partnership procedure in accordance with the provisions of the Law on the Use of Renewable Energy Sources is the selection of a financially capable bidder with significant reference projects in its portfolio. It should correspond to the procedure for the selection of a strategic partner, ensuring the application of advanced technologies in the construction of solar power plants with a total installed power of 1 GW in a way that will enable the integration of electricity from variable renewable sources into the existing energy system.
The subject of the invitation is the selection of a strategic partner for the implementation of the project of construction without management and maintenance of large-capacity self-balanced solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 1,000 MW with battery systems for storing electricity, a total installed capacity of at least 200 MW and a storage capacity of 400 MWh. It will be owned and managed by state-owned power utility EPS.
The project will be developed, constructed and handed over to EPS on a turnkey basis. This means that the strategic partner, in addition to building solar power plants and battery systems for electricity storage, will be obliged to perform all other necessary activities, as well as to build all other infrastructure necessary for normal functioning.
