Montenegrin state-owned utility EPCG has taken another step toward the development of the Krupac solar power plant by launching a tender for preparatory construction and engineering works related to the project.
The utility is seeking a contractor to carry out initial activities valued at approximately €1.72 million. Interested companies have until 10 July to submit their bids, while the selected contractor will be required to complete the works within a maximum period of 180 days.
This tender is part of a broader preparatory phase with a total estimated value of around €6.7 million. The works are intended to prepare the groundwork for the construction of one of Montenegro’s largest planned solar facilities.
The future solar park will be located near Lake Krupac in the Nikšić region and will cover approximately 118 hectares across three separate sites. Once operational, the 41.8 MW solar plant is expected to generate around 62 GWh of electricity annually.
Earlier this year, EPCG awarded a contract to the local engineering firm Greener to prepare the main project design documentation. This study will serve as the foundation for subsequent development phases and the eventual construction of the facility.
According to earlier estimates, the total investment in the Krupac solar power plant is expected to reach about €28 million. The project is part of EPCG’s broader strategy to expand renewable energy capacity in Montenegro and increase the share of solar power in the national electricity mix, supporting the country’s long-term energy transition goals.
