EPCG Solar Gradnja installs 36 MW of solar power in 2025

So far this year, EPCG Solar Gradnja has installed solar power plants with an overall capacity of 36 MW.

EPCG Solar Gradnja, a subsidiary of state-owned power utility Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG), specializes in the procurement, design, installation, and maintenance of photovoltaic systems.

Its main role is the installation of solar panels within the programs Solari 3,000+, Solari 500+, and Solari 5,000+.

The programs were launched by EPCG to enable households and businesses to install solar panels under favorable conditions and become prosumers.

EPCG Solar Gradnja pointed out that the results it achieved by December 1 have exceeded the plan for 2025.

The plan for 2025 was 30 MW

“Instead of the planned 30 MW, a total of 36 MW of photovoltaic systems was installed in the first 11 months,” the Board of Directors said after its sixth regular meeting.

The management added that it expects to end the year with a positive financial result.

Of note, EPCG said that since the establishment of EPCG Solar Gradnja in late 2021, the firm installed a total of 75 MW of solar power capacity by August this year. Montenegro currently doesn’t have any large PV plants, so the vast majority of the capacity is in very small PV systems.

The Board of Directors has reappointed Sanja Žugić as acting CEO for a period of six months, or until a competition or the selection of a CEO. The management highlighted good results as the main reason for its decision.

The priority is the implementation of large ground-mounted solar power plants

Due to the increased volume of work and further project development, the board adopted a new rulebook on the organization and the classification of jobs. It brings adjustments to the organization and redistribution of work tasks, EPCG Solar Gradnja said.

In the coming months, the firm’s priority will be the implementation of ground-mounted solar power plants. Two units of 40 MW each are in the pipeline, together with the installation of rooftop solar on an even larger scale, it added.

So far, EPCG Solar Gradnja has installed PV plants on nearly 9,000 roofs.

The board’s meeting was attended by the representatives of the unions. Procedures recommended by the Montenegro State Audit Institution were adopted at the meeting.
