Ministry of Energy granted the Location Permit for the Reservoir Company’s 33.1 Megawatt (“MW”) Brodarevo 2 hydroelectric project on the Lim River in southwest Serbia.
The permit is valid for one year and allows the Company to undertake preparatory work on the project, encompassing the temporary passage over the river, site access roads and river diversion.
Miljana Vidovic, President and CEO of Reservoir commented: “The Location Permit for Brodarevo 2 is very important, as it allows for construction work to begin as we await the building permit for the dam and power plant. This is a vote of confidence in Reservoir from the Serbian Government to build the first green-field Hydro Project over 10 MW’s in over 40 years.”
