In Belgrade’s Sava Center, Elnos Group marked a remarkable dual jubilee – 80 years of tradition and 30 years of modern business development. This impressive celebration brought together partners, friends, and employees of Elnos Group, transforming the evening into a vibrant stage that reflected the company’s journey and cast a clear light on its vision for the future.

For years, the company has been pushing the boundaries of the green transition across the region, with its participation in renewable energy projects surpassing two gigawatts. With more than 900 employees and operations in 18 countries, Elnos Group today stands as a company shaping the future of modern energy.

Energy, movement, and unforgettable moments

Instead of a traditional ceremony, guests were welcomed by an evening full of motion, emotion, and visual spectacle – showing that energy companies certainly know how to create a true celebratory atmosphere. From the very first moment, it was clear that evening would be more than protocol.

Guests from across the region and Europe gathered in a space that, thanks to a digital animation in the Immersive Hall, seemed to breathe with energy. The animation spectacularly transformed the story of the energy sector and Elnos Group into an unforgettable visual experience.

In an atmosphere of powerful symbolism and even stronger unity, Elnos Group celebrated its journey – from its earliest steps to an international company.

“Elnos is defined not by words, but by results” – a message from the heart of the celebration

In an address that blended both emotion and vision, Dušan Torbica, President of the Management Board of Elnos Group, shared a message that became a defining tone of the entire evening.

“Elnos Group is not defined by grand words but by the results that stand behind them. These results are the measure of our work and our reputation. The energy sector of the future requires reliable and fast contractors, and we are ready to meet those demands,” he said.

A strong energy filled the hall, while on stage Marijana Zlopaša and Tropico Band brought rhythm, color, and warmth to the celebration. Yet, at the very center of the evening remained a message of gratitude – directed toward all those who have been part of Elnos Group’s path: in the past, the present, and those who are ready to shape its future.

Vetrozelena – a major contract signed on the day of the jubilee

On the very day of this grand celebration, Elnos Serbia signed an EPC contract with Sinohydro Corporation Limited, a subsidiary of Power China Construction Group, for the construction of the Vetrozelena wind farm – soon to become the largest single wind project in the Balkans.

Vetrozelena will have a total capacity of 300 MW, featuring 48 turbines of 6.25 MW each. Elnos Serbia, as part of Elnos Group, will take on the task of building the complete grid connection to the transmission system of Elektromreža Srbije.

Company teams will construct a 35/400 kV substation with four 90 MVA transformers, a 400 kV switchyard with six bays, a 7.5-kilometer double-circuit 400 kV transmission line, as well as accompanying infrastructure upgrades within the power distribution and telecommunications networks.

This project is another EPC-based contract through which Elnos Serbia will deliver complete engineering services: design, construction, equipment procurement and installation, integration, testing, and commissioning.

People as the foundation and the future

Among the stage lights and project presentations, the message of Predrag Ćulibrk, Director of Elnos Serbia, resonated particularly strongly.

“Our employees are the heart of all our successes. Every engineer, technician, and worker has built a part of themselves into projects across Europe. Without them, no strategy could come to life,” Ćulibrk emphasized.

His words were a reminder that behind every project stand people – the ones who build networks and connect communities. Among them is a new generation, represented by the experience of Dalibor Šošić, an engineer whose career began alongside the modern era of Elnos.

“As part of the new generation of Elnos, I can say that we are determined to take responsibility for the next 30 years. We are inspired by the vision of those who built this company before us, and by the support we receive today to develop new ideas,” he said.

A look at the future, built on the strength of the past

With 80 years of tradition and 30 years of modern business, Elnos Group has shown not only that it knows how to celebrate, but that it knows how to plan.

And after this night in the Sava Center, one thing is clear: Elnos Group steps into the coming decades with confidence and purpose – with results as its measure and a strong team spirit as its signature.
