Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) strives to strengthen its production portfolio by over 2,200 MW by building new plants, said the president of the company’s Board of Directors, Milutin Đukanović. As he stated, this would give momentum not only to the development of the company, but also to the economy in general.
We, in Montenegro, do not have a strong industry, which is a serious economic problem. By building new plants, EPCG strives to strengthen its production portfolio by over 2,200 MW, which would give momentum not only to the development of our company, but also to the economy in general. Of course, a lot will depend on the general readiness to understand modern challenges and the importance of the energy transition – said Đukanović at the panel “Electricity of the region in the energy transition – transformation to green megawatts” which was held as part of the Belgrade Energy Forum (BEF).
He informed the attendees about the results and future projects of EPCG, with a special emphasis on the need to change the way of looking at things in the field of energy transition everywhere, starting from energy companies, through competent state bodies, and all the way to European institutions.
I get the impression that often when developing strategies, the very goal that such activities are trying to achieve is lost from sight. Seen from our point of view, I think that every energy company should have two seemingly simple goals: to produce more than is consumed in a given system and to have new production plants in the background of the green transition. Various strategies are derived from these goals – he said
The participants of the panel agree with the assessment that the development of projects in the field of renewable energy sources has no serious alternative, while stressing that it is very important that each company individually adapts its way of thinking and project planning to the standards of our time, because otherwise it would follow stagnation.
