Renewable energy investor Alcazar Energy Partners has signed a memorandum of understanding with Montenegrin state power utility Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG), initiating negotiations on a power purchase agreement (PPA) for electricity that will be produced by Alcazar’s future 118.8 MW Bijela wind farm.

Alcazar Energy acquired the rights to the Bijela wind farm project in September 2023. A year later, it signed a contract for the construction of infrastructure for connecting the facility to the grid.

A key component of the government’s 2040 National Development Strategy, Bijela will support Montenegro’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Alcazar said in a press release. The largest wind farm in Montenegro will provide clean energy to more than 16,000 households while preventing the release of up to 230,000 tons of CO2 annually, according to the statement.

“This partnership is continued evidence of our commitment to developing the largest renewable energy platform in the Western Balkans,” said Daniel Calderon, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Alcazar Energy Partners.
