Čibuk 2 wind farm – the second act of Serbia’s green revolution in Banat

Banat is becoming the centre of Serbia’s green energy transition. Nearly five years after the municipality of Kovin became home to the largest wind farm in the Balkans – Čibuk 1 (158 MW) – construction of Čibuk 2 (154 MW) is beginning in its immediate vicinity. The synergy of these two wind farms will deliver a total of 312 MW of green energy to Serbia, significantly contributing to power system stability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Elnos Group is part of the consortium engaged in this project and is responsible for the Balance of Plant (BoP), which includes the construction of all electrical facilities required for connecting the wind farm to the transmission network. The project is implemented on a turnkey basis, meaning Elnos Group is responsible for complete engineering, design, procurement of equipment, installation, and commissioning.

• Total installed capacity: 154 MW
• Number of turbines: 38
• Turbine type: Nordex 4.2 MW
• Substation: New 35/400 kV substation
• Extension: 400 kV transmission facility upgrade
• Planned completion: 2026

• Coordination with existing infrastructure, including Čibuk 1, to ensure compatibility and synchronization with the transmission grid
• Alignment of equipment with investor requirements, with precise integration into project documentation
• Construction work on the transmission system, including installation of the new 35/400 kV substation and expansion of the 400 kV switchyard
• Adaptation of transmission lines to optimise infrastructure for increased transmission capacity

Elnos Group is responsible for key project tasks, including:

• Construction of internal access roads
• Design of the substation and procurement of electrical equipment
• Construction of the new 35/400 kV substation and installation of all electrical equipment
• Expansion of the 400 kV transmission facility
• System testing and commissioning, in full compliance with grid regulations
• SCADA system integration for monitoring and optimisation of wind farm operation, including production of all related electrical cabinets

• Long-term increase in renewable energy capacity in Serbia
• Reduction of CO₂ emissions – estimated at 311,200 tones annually
• Enhanced energy security through diversification of electricity sources
• Supplying electricity to more than 62,000 households annually
• Supporting Serbia’s 2040 strategy for transitioning to clean energy sources

Čibuk 2 wind farm represents an important step in Serbia’s renewable energy development, while Elnos Group further strengthens its position as a leading contractor for power infrastructure projects in the Balkans.
