Wind power in Serbia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wind power is a fledgling source of renewable energy in Serbia. In 2023, the wind power provided 1068 GWh (7.5%) of the total electricity generated in Serbia, up from 48 GWh (0.15%) in 2017.[1][2] Wind power is the second most favored energy source by the Serbian public, second only to solar energy.[3]
The first wind farm was opened in 2011 and is located in Leskova, Tutin; it has an installed capacity of 600 KW.[4] In 2015, a wind farm near Kula was opened with an installed capacity of 9.9 MW; it was constructed by MK Fintel Wind.[5] La Pikolina (6.6 MW) wind farm near Vršac was opened in 2016.[6]
Malibunar (8 MW) went online in 2017.[7] Alibunar (42 MW) went online in 2018.[8]
In 2019 three wind farms went online: Košava near Vršac (69 MW),[9] Čibuk 1 near Kovin (158 MW)[10][11] and Kovačica (104 MW).[12]

| Alibunar | Alibunar | 2018 | 42 |
| Alibunar 1 | Alibunar | 2023 | 9 |

Several projects are still under development, including the 854 MW Maestrale Ring project near Subotica (launched in 2023)[16], the 154 MW Čibuk 2 project near Kovin (launched in 2024)[17], and the 300 MW Vitello project near Pančevo (launched in 2026)[18].
