The company Green Energy Investment plans to build a 160 MW solar power plant in Šipčanik, Nikšić. The energy facility will be built on several cadastral plots with a total area of about 228 hectares, KO Šipčano II.
This can be seen in the request for a decision on the need to prepare an environmental impact assessment report submitted by the investor to the Environmental Agency.
As stated in the document, the location is extremely favorable for the construction of a solar power plant, because the winters in this area are mild with very little snow, especially in the last decade. The location receives an amount of solar radiation of 1,420kWh/m2.
There are no facilities in the place where the construction of the solar power plant is planned, so only the preparation of the ground is necessary to start the works.
– The photovoltaic system of the solar power plant consists of 354,552 monocrystalline half-cell panels. Each of them has a maximum power of 550 Wp, which represents the total installed power of the solar system, which is 195 MWp, i.e. 164 MW of peak power. The system is viewed as a whole of 195 MWp which will fit into the 400 kV network and be connected to it according to the conditions of the competent Montenegrin Electric Transmission System (CGES) – the document states.
Let us remind you that at the session in mid-September, the Government also issued urban planning and technical conditions to this investor for the preparation of technical conditions, with the aim of building a solar power plant.
