The first stage of construction has gotten underway on new wind farm in Podvelezje, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This project is divided into three stages, with completion planned for mid-2019. The wind farm will have a capacity of 48MW following an investment of €162m. A portion of this investment €65m will be financed by German KfW, while 20 percent will be provided by Elektroprivreda BiH. Stage 1 includes the procurement, design, and construction of fifteen 3 MW turbines. The second stage will cover construction of 30/110kV transformer substations, power cables, optical cabling and ground networks. A consortium of companies from Mostar will be in charge of the construction, including HP Investing, Amitea and Izgradnja Tojaga.
