Wind Energy from Kostolac

Electricity from Kostolac will soon come with the help of wind and not only coal, thanks to the help of the European Union. The wind park, not far from Belgrade, will be the first in the history of operations of Elektroprivreda Srbije. Serbia and the EU are jointly working on the construction of a new wind farm that will have 20 turbines, installed at the locations of exhausted coal mines. This initiative not only marks a significant step towards reducing the country’s coal dependence, but also represents a specific commitment to fostering a cleaner environment and creating new jobs. The agreement, which provides funding of the project for the construction of “Kostolac”, was signed today in Belgrade. Dubravka Đedović Handanović, Minister of Mining and Energy of the Republic of Serbia, together with the representatives of the KfW Office in Belgrade and “Elektroprivreda Srbije” (EPS), signed the agreement. The event, organized in the Government building, was also attended by the Ambassador of the European Union to Serbia, Emanuele Giaufret, the Ambassador of Germany to Serbia, Anke Konrad and the Minister for European Integration, Tanja Miščević.
