Government Looking For Strategic Partner for Construction of Public Solar Power Plants of Large Capacity – At Least Five Facilities Planned

The Government of Serbia has adopted the decision which defines the procedure of the selection of the strategic partner for the realization of the project of the construction of self-balancing solar power plants of a large capacity with battery systems for the storage of electrical energy in Serbia.

This turnkey project will be developed, built and handed over to the ownership of EPS.

– That means that, in addition to building the solar power plants and the battery systems for the storage of electrical energy, the strategic partner will be obliged to carry out all the other necessary activities and to build all the remaining infrastructure – says the Government’s decision.

The strategic partner should prepare the technical documentation necessary for the realization of the project and prepare the terrain for the installation of the solar power plants and the battery systems and build the necessary infrastructure.

The project consists of two components: solar power plants and battery systems.

The solar power plants will have a total installed power of 1,000 MWac (that is 1,200 MWdc). In order to ensure the optimal evenness of the production of electrical energy, the total installed power needs to be distributed among five or more independent solar power plants.

The locations of the solar power plants, as well as the number and the installed power of each individual solar power plant will be proposed by the strategic partner.

The battery systems for the storage of electrical energy, with a total installed power of at least 200 MW and an accumulation capacity of at least 400 MWh of electrical energy, will be distributed in one or several strategically important locations within the electrical energy system of Serbia.

The locations of the battery systems for the storage of electrical energy will be proposed by the strategic partner.

All the produced electrical energy of the solar power plants and the services realized through battery systems will be integrated in the operating plans of EPS.

The deadline for the realization of the project is four to five years, and the decision says that the period for which the agreement is signed is six to seven years.

The Work Group, whose president is the minister of mining and energy of Serbia, Dubravka Djedovic, has been formed to the end of the realization of this project.
