State-owned utility Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) has launched an international tender for two commercial and industrial energy storage installations, each designed to deliver 30 MW of power and store up to 120 MWh of energy. The two four-hour battery storage projects will be located at the EPCG.
Montenegro’s energy landscape reflects a blend of historical reliance on hydropower, particularly through facilities like the Perućica plant, and thermal power from the Pljevlja plant, which together form the backbone of electricity production. Renewable sources such as wind and solar are gaining.
October 13–14, 2025 at the Palace of Congresses in Tirana, the European Commission (Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations – DG ENEST), the Montenegrin Investment Agency (MIA), and CWP Europe signed a Joint Declaration of Support for the development of the Montechevo.
UGT Renewables is partnering with state-owned power utility Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) to aid Montenegro in a swift and efficient transition to a cleaner, greener energy generation base. The utility-scale solar PV plants and energy storage in development will help Montenegro alleviate the.
To accelerate its shift to renewable energy and expedite the decarbonization of the energy sector, today, Montenegro has announced the launch of the Montenegro Energy Growth and Acceleration (MEGA) national study. The initiative aims to identify sites with significant energy potential that also.
Montenegro has a variety of energy resources that include: hydropower, wind energy, solar radiation, biomass and coal reserves. In the total installed power production capacity, hydropower plants take a share of 66.05%, thermal power plant 21.08%, wind power plants 11.06% and solar power plant
The Montechevo Project will combine solar energy generation with a large-scale battery storage facility directly connected to Montenegro''s new 400 kV transmission
