CWP’s Vetrozelena wind farm will consist of 48 turbines with a planned installed capacity of 300 MW. The project will reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 820,000 tons per year and provide green electricity to over 185,000 homes. The Vetrozelena wind farm will be the largest wind power plant in the country when completed in 2025.

Both companies are in a unique position to collaborate and combine global knowledge with specific local experience.

Dimitar Enchev, CEO of CWP Europe, said, “We are delighted to welcome PowerChina Resources as a partner in the 300 MW Vetrozelena wind farm. This flagship project will be the largest wind farm in Serbia and one of the largest in the region when completed in 2025. Representing one of the largest foreign direct investments in Serbia, which will provide clean, low-cost electricity, the project is an important step towards diversifying and decarbonizing Serbia’s energy mix.”
