Turkey’s Fortis Energy has 509 MW of wind projects in Serbia pipeline

Turkish renewables company Fortis Energy is currently developing 509.4 MW of wind farm projects in Serbia, expecting to finalise them by the end of 2028.

The capacity will be provided by three wind farms located in south-central and southern parts of the Balkan country -- 194.4-MW Gornjak, 144-MW Juhor and 171-MW Vranje.

Feasibility studies for these projects are about to be finalised, Fortis said in a post on its LinkedIn page. The next steps include completing measurements and getting approvals before the civil works can begin.

Once in operation, the there wind farms will be capable of producing 1.5 TWh of electricity, Fortis said.

According to a document titled Portfolio 2024 posted on Fortis Energy's website, the three wind farms will be accompanied by energy storage. A storage system with a capacity of 30 MW is planned for the Juhor site and 40 MW each at the Gornjak and Vranje wind farms.

The same document also shows that Fortis Energy plans to build four solar farms with a combined capacity of 500 MWp at three locations in Serbia. Three energy storage projects are considered for those sites.

Fortis Energy currently has one operational facility in Serbia. It is a biogas plant with a capacity of 3 MW electric.
