EPCG Expands Generation and Storage Portfolio with 639 MW of New Projects

Montenegro’s state-owned utility Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) is advancing a broad portfolio of solar, wind, battery storage, and hydropower projects with a combined capacity of 639 MW, and an expected annual electricity output of more than 1 TWh, according to Milutin Đukanović, President of EPCG’s Board of Directors.

In an opinion piece, Đukanović said the company has already completed part of a major investment cycle, including rooftop solar projects, the Gvozd 1 wind farm, the ecological reconstruction of the Pljevlja thermal power plant, and part of the modernization works at the Piva and Perućica hydropower plants. He added that new generation capacities, battery storage systems, hydropower upgrades, rooftop solar, wind projects, and strategic partnerships are EPCG’s response to the operational and market challenges it faced in 2025.

EPCG’s direct project pipeline amounts to around 639 MW/MWp, with estimated investments of approximately EUR 646.5 million and an expected annual output of about 1,024 GWh. Đukanović noted that the investment framework also includes reconstruction and upgrade projects that cannot always be expressed in megawatts.

When strategic and potential private partners are included, the company’s total portfolio rises above 4,636 MW/MWp, with a potential annual electricity generation of more than 8,176 GWh. Đukanović said EPCG is positioning itself for a larger role in Montenegro’s energy transition and in the broader regional power market.

The portfolio includes EPCG-owned solar power plants with a combined capacity of 221.1 MW and projected annual production of 299 GWh, rooftop solar systems for prosumers totaling 209.1 MW and 245 GWh in annual generation, the Gvozd 1 and Gvozd 2 wind farms with a combined capacity of 75.6 MW and expected output of 227 GWh, hydropower projects totaling 71.7 MW and 135 GWh annually, and battery energy storage facilities with an operating power of 60 MW.

A battery energy storage system is also planned at EPCG’s steel plant Željezara Nikšić. The project is estimated at around EUR 48 million and is designed as a 60 MW / 240 MWh system, with an expected annual electricity output of about 118.3 GWh, Đukanović said.

Among the completed investments, EPCG has already added 143.66 MW of new generation capacity, corresponding to around 268 GWh of annual electricity production. The value of these completed projects stands at approximately EUR 258.87 million.

These include rooftop solar systems installed under the Solari 3000+ and Solari 500+ programs, with a total peak capacity of 34.34 MW and expected annual generation of 40.18 GWh, as well as the completed portion of the Solari 5000+ project, which has a total peak capacity of 54.72 MW and expected annual output of 64.02 GWh. A further 20 MW of rooftop solar remains to be installed under the same program.

The 54.6 MW Gvozd 1 wind farm has also been completed, with an investment of EUR 82 million and projected annual output of 163.8 GWh. Together with the second phase, Gvozd 2, the project will raise total wind capacity by about 75.6 MW.

Additional completed investments include the ecological reconstruction of the Pljevlja thermal power plant, valued at EUR 75 million, along with the second phase of reconstruction and modernization works at the Piva hydropower plant, worth EUR 10.83 million, and the second phase at the Perućica hydropower plant, worth EUR 33 million.

Đukanović also noted that the Pljevlja coal mine carried out the diversion of the Ćehotina River during the power plant reconstruction, in a project worth EUR 20 million. The intervention was necessary to secure continued coal mining operations, as available reserves were close to exhaustion.

He said the main reasons for EPCG’s EUR 92.1 million loss in 2025 were the eight-month outage at the Pljevlja thermal power plant due to ecological reconstruction, as well as unfavorable hydrological conditions.

According to Đukanović, once production at Pljevlja resumed, EPCG’s energy balance returned to positive territory. The company then posted a profit of EUR 36.47 million in the first quarter of this year.

El-Mor Pushes Two 203 MW Stand-Alone BESS Projects Toward Delivery in Romania

Romania’s grid-scale energy storage market is rapidly shifting from development into execution, making time-to-market an increasingly decisive differentiator. In this context, El-Mor Electric Installations & Services is progressing two large stand-alone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects structured for fast delivery: BRADU BESS (Argeș) and BRAZI BESS (Prahova).

Each project is planned at 203 MW with up to 800 MWh of energy capacity (4-hour duration) and is designed to connect at 110 kV to substations operated by Romania’s transmission system operator, Transelectrica. Both projects already hold an ATR (technical connection approval) and are targeted to achieve RTB (ready-to-build) status in Q1 2026, with a defined pathway to commissioning in H1 2027, subject to investor execution and financing.

As Romania’s BESS market expands and moves into what many describe as a “delivery phase,” projects can look similar on paper. Increasingly, however, the separation between bankable opportunities and speculative pipelines comes down to execution certainty—particularly connection clarity, permitting maturity, optimized grid-connection CAPEX, and documentation capable of meeting lender-grade due diligence requirements.

El-Mor’s development model is focused on de-risking the items that most commonly delay BESS delivery—especially the grid interface and permitting quality—so investors can move quickly with fewer late-stage disruptions.

Quality control, risk management, and bankability

El-Mor Electric Installations & Services is a public company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, reporting over €200 million in 2025 sales. Across its PV and BESS activities, the company highlights an engineering-led approach supported by decades of high-voltage experience, shaping a development practice centered on quality control, risk management, and overall bankability of the permitting package.

A key element of El-Mor’s strategy is technology flexibility. The projects are permitted on an equipment-agnostic basis, enabling investors to select BESS containers and Power Conversion System (PCS) technology during detailed design. This approach is intended to protect schedules as equipment availability, pricing, and lender requirements evolve—while avoiding the need to reopen permits to accommodate technology decisions.

BRADU BESS: permits issued, grid agreement targeted for March

BRADU BESS is a 203 MW / up to 800 MWh project located in Bradu commune (Argeș), planned to connect to Transelectrica’s BRADU 400/220/110 kV substation. El-Mor said the underground 110 kV cable route is approximately 0.6 km, supporting both schedule execution and connection cost optimization. The company noted that building permits were issued in January 2026, with Grid Connection Agreement (GCA) signature targeted for March 2026.

BRAZI BESS: advanced development track toward RTB in Q1 2026

BRAZI BESS is a 203 MW / up to 800 MWh project in Brazi commune (Prahova), planned to connect to Transelectrica’s BRAZI 400/220/110 kV substation via an underground 110 kV cable route of approximately 1.2 km. Development began in 2023, and the project remains on track to reach full RTB in Q1 2026.

In a market where speed and certainty are becoming core investment criteria, “delivery-ready” must withstand rigorous diligence to be meaningful. El-Mor’s positioning centers on disciplined VDR (virtual data room) management and a permitting approach designed to keep technology options open while enabling rapid execution.
