Construction has officially started on the Alibunar 1 and Alibunar 2 wind farms in Serbia, a combined project valued at around €240 million and developed by Chinese company SANY, marking a new phase in renewable energy investment in the country.
The two wind farms are expected to enter commercial operation before the end of 2028 and are projected to generate approximately 460 GWh of electricity annually, adding a significant volume of clean power to Serbia’s electricity system.
The project represents SANY’s first renewable energy investment in Central and Eastern Europe, with the company selecting the Alibunar region due to its strong and consistent wind conditions. The investment is also seen as a strategic entry point into the Serbian and broader regional energy market.
PowerChina, which is also involved in the development, highlighted that the project reflects strengthening cooperation between Serbia and China in the renewable energy sector, particularly in large-scale infrastructure and power generation projects.
Alibunar has increasingly emerged as one of Serbia’s key wind development zones. By 2028, four wind farms are expected to be operational in the municipality, while additional projects are already in preparation, indicating a rapid concentration of wind capacity in the area.
The Alibunar 1 and 2 projects will further expand Serbia’s renewable generation base as the country continues to scale up wind power and diversify its electricity mix, reducing reliance on conventional generation sources over the long term.
