Fortis Energy is approaching the build phase of the 194.4 megawatt electrical Gornjak Wind Power Project in Serbia. The project is set to deploy 27 wind turbines, each with a rated capacity of 7.2 megawatt electrical, located across the mountainous terrain surrounding the Gornjačka gorge, spanning the municipalities of Žagubica and Petrovac na Mlavi.
The wind measurement campaign was officially launched in 2024. Bankable wind data is expected to be available by first quarter of 2026, following at least 12 months of continuous monitoring. The wind assessment process involves the deployment of met masts, continuous data acquisition, and subsequent energy yield analysis to support investment-grade evaluation.
The project is expected to reach Ready-to-Build (RTB) status in the first quarter of 2027. Fortis will execute the construction and installation phases with its in-house teams and equipment, while also collaborating with local suppliers and engineering firms. Commercial operation is anticipated to commence in the fourth quarter of 2029.
With a capacity of 194.4 megawatt electrical, the Gornjak Wind Power Plant is one of the largest renewable energy projects in Southeast Europe, projected to generate over 520 gigawatt-hours of energy annually. Throughout the construction phase, the project will also bolster the local economy by creating employment opportunities and engaging with local suppliers. The facility will make a significant contribution to Serbia's energy security and its green energy transition.
