Wind power in Serbia

Wind power is a fledgling source of renewable energy in Serbia. In 2020, the wind power provided 963 GWh (2.83%) of the total electricity generated in Serbia, up from 48 GWh (0.15%) in 2017.[1][2] Wind power is the second most favored energy source by the Serbian public, second only to solar energy.[3]

Plants

[edit]

The first wind farm was opened in 2011 and is located in Leskova, Tutin; it has an installed capacity of 600 KW.[4] In 2015, a wind farm near Kula was opened with an installed capacity of 9.9 MW; it was constructed by MK Fintel Wind.[5] La Pikolina (6.6 MW) wind farm near Vršac was opened in 2016.[6]

Malibunar (8 MW) went online in 2017.[7] Alibunar (42 MW) went online in 2018.[8]

In 2019 three wind farms went online: Košava near Vršac (69 MW),[9] Čibuk 1 near Kovin (158 MW)[10] and Kovačica (104 MW).[11]
