Montenegro’s 88 MW Korita wind project has secured a grid-connection agreement from transmission system operator CGES, removing one of the main administrative obstacles facing the proposed development near Bijelo Polje.
The project is being developed by Vjetro Park Korita and is expected to require investment of approximately €132 million. This corresponds to an indicative development cost of €1.5 million per MW, within the range associated with onshore wind projects facing mountainous terrain, road-access requirements and substantial grid works.
Korita is planned across approximately 162 hectares near the village of the same name. The scheme would comprise 11 wind turbines, implying an average turbine rating of around 8 MW. Commercial operation is currently scheduled for 2030.
The connection agreement follows an administrative setback. Montenegro’s Ministry of Spatial Planning rejected the developer’s construction-permit application on 18 June 2026, partly because a CGES connection agreement had not yet been concluded. The grid agreement was signed five days later, resolving that specific deficiency but not automatically reversing the permitting decision.
The Environmental Protection Agency approved the project’s environmental impact assessment in December 2025. Further planning, technical and construction procedures must still be completed before physical works can begin.
At 88 MW, Korita would become one of Montenegro’s larger renewable-energy assets. Its output could support domestic supply, reduce reliance on seasonal imports and potentially contribute to exports through Montenegro’s links with Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Italy.
The project’s economics will depend on the final grid-connection scope, access-road and turbine-transport requirements, wind-resource validation and the commercial route to market. A 2030 operating date also leaves substantial exposure to equipment prices, financing costs and possible changes to balancing and market-integration rules.
The CGES agreement therefore improves bankability but does not yet make the project construction-ready. The next critical stage is alignment of the connection design with the renewed permitting process and the conversion of environmental approval into executable construction documentation.
