The best wind power system in Pristina

The project was implemented by SOWI Kosovo llc. (sowikosovo.com) and has since been taken over by the investor Enlight Energy (enlightenergy.co.il). Windfarm in the Mountains at Altitude of 1800 Meters The 27 wind turbines of type GE 3.8 - 137 (hub height 110 meters) have a capacity of 102.6 MW and are by far the largest wind farm in Kosovo.

In accordance with the regulations in Kosovo, official operation of the wind farm is scheduled to begin on November 30, 2021, after the trial operation phase that has already started.

The 27 wind turbines in the Selac windfarm provide electricity for more than 100,000 households, accounting for up to ten percent of Kosovo's electricity consumption. The wind farm near the town of Mitrovica and the village of Bajgora (Bajgorë) is an important milestone for Kosovo on its way to an autonomous and renewable energy supply.

Kosovo has relied almost exclusively on coal-fired power generation and electricity imports. Together with local partners, NOTUS energy carried out the permit planning, supported the financing and implemented the project as general contractor. This includes cooperation with the authorities and the transmission system operator.

In total, NOTUS energy has signed leases with more than 300 small landowners. "The Selac wind farm is a very special project in many respects.
