Wind power plant at Lisačke Rudine near Croatian coastal city of Dubrovnik was completed. Slobodna Dalmacija newspaper’s portal said the EUR 42.5 million worth system of 12 turbines is finished on September 5. In the words of Bojan Reščec, the head of the facility and of RP Global projekti d. o. o., the technical review is being prepared. The works started in September of last year in cooperation with Adria Wind Power d. o. o. from Sesvete.
