Turkish renewable energy producer Fortis Energy has announced the acquisition of a significant 180 MW solar project in Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia. This project, which includes a battery energy storage system (BESS), is poised to become one of the largest solar plants and energy storage systems in Southeast Europe.
Major Developments in Renewable Energy
The company plans to install a battery energy storage system with a capacity of 36 MWh at the project site. Construction is set to commence in 2025, marking a significant step forward in the region’s renewable energy landscape.
Fortis Energy is no stranger to the Serbian market, as it is already developing four solar sites with a combined capacity of 500 MW. Additionally, the company is working on three wind farm projects, boasting a total installed capacity of 509.4 MW.
Expanding Renewable Energy Portfolio
Earlier this year, Fortis launched a 3 MW biogas power plant in Vojvodina, Serbia. The company is actively expanding its portfolio in the region, with solar, wind, biogas, and green hydrogen energy projects totaling up to 2 GW across Serbia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia.
Fortis Energy’s initiatives contribute significantly to the renewable energy sector, promoting sustainable practices and advancing energy independence in the Balkans.
