The Project site is located in central region of Montenegro in the area of Chevo which lies on the border between Cetinje and Nikšić municipalities, 68km away from Podgorica and 101km away from the Port of Bar. The project site covers the total area of 1300 ha (13,000,000 sqm) owned by ‘M Energy’ doo. It is easily reachable by existing roads that connect cities of Cetinje and Nikšić.
As shown by all the analyses, feasibility studies and preliminary opinions that have been done for the location up to this point, the construction of an SPP at this site is immensely interesting for investment. The very positive feedback is primarily based on advantages related to the size of location and its sun exposure. No less important is that valid plans foresee for main utility grid power station to be built on site according to the in/out principle that directly connects on 400kv transmission line Lastva – Pljevlja which passes through the project site. Lastva – Pljevlja transmission line is one of the main lines in Montenegro for electricity transmission to Italy, Bosnia, Serbia, Albania, Romania and beyond.
All of the above indicates high viability for solar energy exploitation at this location and the construction of an SPP.
M Energy has already undertaken all the preliminary work to prepare and obtain Zoning and Urbanistic Technical Conditions as well as all other necessary permits, licences and certificates for the start of construction of the solar power plant under applicable laws and regulations of Montenegro.
