Biggest Wind Farm in Serbia to Be Built in Territories of Srbobran and Becej – Vetrogon to Have Facility for Storage of Electricity and Its Turning into Other Forms of Energy

The Provincial Secretariat for Urban Planning and Environmental Protection in Novi Sad has put up for early public inspection the material for the preparation of the spatial plan of the special-purpose area for the construction of the Vetrogon wind farm.

The Vetrogon wind farm will be located in the territories of the municipalities of Srbobran and Becej. More precisely, it will encompass the entire cadastral municipalities of Srbobran, Becej and Radicevic, on an area of around 457 m2.

The investor is CWP Global.

The construction of 55-75 wind generator poles, with an individual installed power of no less than 5 MW, is planned, and the total power will be around 450 MW, which will make Vetrogon the biggest wind farm in Serbia.

The biggest areas within the plan are currently taken up by crop farming land, and the zone for the construction of wind generators will encompasses space outside the construction area of the settlement.

The produced electrical energy will be transferred to the power transfer system through a 35 (33) (20) kV cable network, within the planned transformation station 35 (33) (20) / 400 (220) kV.

The construction of a facility for the delay of the use of the electrical energy relative to the moment when the electrical energy is produced, that is, a facility for the transformation of electrical energy into other forms of energy and the storing of such energy for the purpose of a subsequent transformation back into electrical energy, is planned as well.

The drafting authority is the PE Zavod za urbanizam Vojvodine (Urban Planning Institute of Vojvodina).

As the investor announced earlier, this investment will be worth EUR 600 million, and its construction should start at the end of 2025. When it is put into operation at the beginning of 2028, the Vetrogon wind farm will produce 1.1 terawatt-hours a year.
