Turkish developer Fortis Energy has secured a construction permit for a 270 MWp solar power plant combined with a 72 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) near Sremska Mitrovica, in the village of Drenovac, south of the Sava River. The project also holds a grid connection permit for 180 MW (AC).
Construction is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026, positioning the facility as a key contributor to Serbia’s growing clean energy capacity. Once operational, it will significantly strengthen the country’s energy resilience and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Fortis Energy currently has a development pipeline exceeding 2.5 GW of renewable projects and aims to reach 1.2 GW of installed capacity by 2027. The company’s long-term strategy centres on building an integrated clean energy portfolio that combines solar, wind, and biogas power with advanced storage systems to ensure stability and flexibility in electricity supply.
The Sremska Mitrovica project underlines both Serbia’s and Fortis Energy’s commitment to accelerating the energy transition in Southeast Europe.
Enefit, the electricity subsidiary of Estonia's Eesti Energia, has officially opened the Strzałkowo solar park in central Poland. The newly launched facility marks a major milestone for the company, standing as its largest single renewable energy project in the Polish market to date.
The Strzałkowo facility boasts an impressive installed capacity of 45 megawatts (MW). Operational estimates suggest the site will generate approximately 45 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually.
ORLEN Group has just secured a landmark deal to acquire a 216 MW hybrid renewable energy complex in Kazimierz Biskupi, marking a significant milestone in Poland’s green energy transition. By pairing a large-scale solar farm with wind turbines, the project aims to power nearly 143,000 households annually.
The European Commission has unveiled a sweeping strategy to make Europe the world’s first electro-powered continent. By launching a new Electrification Action Plan alongside a major review of the Emissions Trading System, the Commission aims to boost industrial competitiveness, accelerate decarbonization, and permanently break the region's reliance on imported fossil fuels. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that powering the economy with clean, homegrown electricity is the most effective way to reduce energy dependency, bring relief to European industries, and keep the green transition on track.
