120 MW Agrivoltaic Solar Project Kosanica in Montenegro Obtained Preliminary Zoning Plan and Technical Approvals
/LONDON, July 2, 2024, 10:00 BST, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ A solar power plant with a capacity of 120 MW will soon be built near the town of Kosanica in the municipality of Pljevlja in Montenegro, and preliminary construction and technical permit have already been issued. The company Kosanica Solar is the applicant for this plant. The documentation states that the area would be used for sustainable agricultural production, according to the so-called agrivoltaic (agrisolar) concept.
According to the preliminary analysis submitted for the construction of the Kosanica solar power plant by the company Permonte from Podgorica, the facility's total installed power is up to 120 MW. "Also, in the preliminary analysis of the solar power plant, it was stated that the application of agrophotovoltaic systems would achieve protection from excessive heat, drought and hail and that by reducing the need for irrigation up to 20 per cent, greater efficiency of the panels will be achieved due to their better cooling", the document states.
It was also stated that agrosolar systems represent an innovative and efficient solution for the simultaneous development of electricity production and sustainable agricultural production on the same plot. The combination of agrophotovoltaic systems and agriculture achieves significantly greater economic profitability, providing reassurance about the project's viability and potential for local economic growth.
The land on which the solar power plant is planned consists of about fifty plots owned by local residents. Before the "Kosanica" project, in October 2023, Permonte company received urban planning and technical conditions for a photovoltaic plant with a power of up to 100MW near Cetinje and occupying 101 hectares.
