Montenegro’s Krnovo Green Energy has marked the official start of construction works on the 72 MW Krnovo wind power plant with an estimated investment value of EUR 120 million, SeeNews portal cited local media reports.

The consortium of France’s Akuo and Austria’s Ivicom has been awarded a permit to build the wind park. Krnovo Green Energy is a special purpose vehicle established for the sole purpose of construction and operation of the project, which is expected to be Montenegro’s first utility-scale wind farm.
