ZAGREB, 1 Feb 2022 - President Zoran Milanović has met with representatives of the Dutch company Green Trust who presented the Lički Medvjed wind park project, the president's office said on Tuesday.
Green Trust is preparing the project together with the German partner Enercon near Otočac.
This wind park is the biggest such project in Croatia at the moment and the investment is planned at €500 million, Green Trust executives said.
The wind park's capacity will be 425 megawatts and annual production one terawatt-hours of green energy.
Besides creating jobs, the wind park plans to assist local sustainable projects and initiatives, Green Trust representatives said, adding that they plan to set up a fund which will support, with €200,000 a year, sustainable local projects aimed at improving economic, social and ecological conditions.
The construction of the wind park will help to improve the infrastructure in the Otočac area as the implementation of the project requires building 25 km of road and investing in a new high-voltage grid.
