Montenegro is moving closer to expanding its renewable energy capacity as Qair Montenegro advances plans to develop a 64.8 MW wind farm in the wider Podgorica area.
The Government of Montenegro has approved draft urban and technical conditions for the project, which will be located across approximately 51.6 hectares north of the capital. According to preliminary documentation, the Momce wind farm will consist of nine wind turbines, each with an installed capacity of 7.2 MW.
The project marks another step in the expansion of the local subsidiary of French renewable energy group Qair International, which is steadily building a portfolio of solar and wind investments across the country.
Qair already has a number of active solar developments in Montenegro, the most advanced being the 50 MW Rudine solar power plant near Nikšić. The project, with an estimated value of around €40 million, secured an environmental permit in early 2025, while a grid connection agreement was later signed with transmission system operator CGES. Commercial operation is expected before the end of 2028.
In addition to Rudine, the company is also preparing two further solar projects in the Nikšić region — the Petrovići and Jabuka solar power plants — each planned with a capacity of 60 MW.
The development of the Momce wind farm further highlights the accelerating pace of renewable energy expansion in Montenegro, where a growing mix of wind and solar projects is increasingly shaping the country’s future electricity system.
