Montenegro’s transmission system operator, CGES, has taken a significant step towards a greener future by signing a contract to connect a solar power plant with an impressive total installed capacity of 87.5 MW. This marks a pivotal moment in the country’s renewable energy journey, reflecting a growing trend among investors seeking grid connection agreements for their projects in Montenegro.
