КОРИШЋЕЊЕ ЕНЕРГЕТСКОГ ПОТЕНЦИЈАЛА ВЕТРА У ЦРНОЈ ГОРИ
UTILISATION OF WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN MONTENEGRO

Summary/Abstract: Research on the potential of wind energy in Montenegro was conducted by the Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea. Results are presented in the study - Assessing the potential of renewable energy sources (2007), where Montenegrin coast and area around Nikšić were recognized as potential sites for the construction of wind farms. If we consider only the areas that have a capacity factor of over 25%, we conclude that Montenegro has wind energy potency of 100MW. If we take into account the medium potential zone this value reaches 400MW. By using the aforementioned energy resources to produce electricity 20-25% of annual energy consumption in Montenegro could be provided. Up to now, studies of wind potential for two sites, Krnovo and Možura, have been submitted to Ministry of Economy. At the site Krnovo, construction of the wind farm began in May 2015, while the beginning of construction on the site Možura is still ahead. Montenegro also participates in the project of coastal wind farms, POWERED, which aims to explore the potential of wind in the Adriatic Sea for the construction of offshore wind farms.
