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.

The crucial agreement for the connection of the Vraćenovići photovoltaic plant to the national transmission system was formalized by Ivan Asanović, CEO of CGES, and Iva Simonović, Deputy CEO of Agenos Energy, based in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro.

This development is more than just a technical milestone; it represents a strategic move towards enhancing Montenegro’s renewable energy production capabilities, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and potentially lowering costs for future energy consumers
