EPS, however, does not specify how much would the two projects, which have been written about for a long time, cost and when the construction would start.

- We are developing renewable energy projects and preparation of the construction of a wind park in Kostolac, with a total power of 66 megawatts has been in progress. Potential site is abandoned mining facility in Kostolac basins and external tailings, formed during the opening of open pit mines Cirkovac and Drmno as well as space of closed pit mines Ćirkovac (2010) and Klenovnik (2009) – EPS communicates.

It is planned that within the wind park, 20 columns with wind turbines are placed. Their height will be 117 meters and blades radius 63 meters, so that the total height of the wind turbine will be 180m. Expected annual electricity production is about 150 million kilowatt hours.

Potential project photovoltaic power plant Srednje kostolacko ostrvo with maximum installed capacity of 100 megawatts at the ash landfill of thermal power plant Kostolac A and Kostolac B is under consideration. The landfill has an area of ​​270 hectares, while production of solar power plants would total to 97.2 million kilowatt hours per year.

As Danas reports, expert public supports activities of EPS since a kilowatt hour would cost less than the one which company pays to private electricity producers.

As reported today, the professional community supports the activities of EPS, because the kilowatt hour cost less than what the company pays private producers of electricity.
