The wind farm will comprise 15 wind turbines and should be built at the site Grebak, about five kilometers west of the Nevesinje center.
The project envisages construction of wind turbines, a substation, control buildings, access roads, as well as a power line for connection to the transmission network.
The obligation of the concessionaire will be to resolve ownership issues at the location where the plant will be built, as well as to build access roads and facilities for the transmission of electricity from the wind farm to the connection point with the transmission network.
