Wind farm Vetrozelena In this work, I would like to present a project for building wind farm Vetrozelena. This landmark project will be the largest wind farm in Serbia and one of the largest in the region upon its completion expected in 2027. The project is an important step towards the diversification and decarbonization of the Serbian energy mix. Vetrozelena wind farm, consisting of 48 turbines, has a planned installed capacity of 300 MW. The project’s electricity output will reduce CO2 emissions by around 820,000 tons every year and supply more than 185,000 households with green electricity. Vetrozelena wind farm will be located in Pančevo municipality, as an extension to the existing wind farm Čibuk. It includes cadastral parcels within cadastral municipality Banatsko Novo Selo and Dolovo. Closest villages are Dolovo at the south of the wind farm, Mramorak at the southeast and Banatsko Novo Selo at the north of the wind farm, at a distance of 1.2 km to 2 km. Geografical location of the wind farm Vetrotelena It is expected that this project will directly be influenced around 50 ha area. But most of the impact on the soil is partly and/or temporary. Most of this area is in private ownership. Position of the wind farm Vetrozelena in relation to the city of Pančevo The wind park Vetrozelena will have 48 turbines with the power of 6,2 MW each. Each pylon for blades will be max 206m height (pylon+blade), gondola will be on the height between 130 and 150 m height, while max diameter of rotor will be 170 m. Electrical energy that is produced in the wind farm Vetrozelena will be transmitted by internal cable network to the substation SS 400/35 kV/ kV „Vetrozelena” which will be as an extension to the SS „Čibuk 1“. There will be an double circuit overhead line 2×400 kV, with length of 7,5 km, for a connection to the transmission network of Elektromreža Srbije. Overhead line 2×400 kV will have 21 steel lattice towers, barrel type with 2 earth wire peaks and one pylon type Y. The main criteria for choosing the corridor for overhead line was adjustment with new project for overhead line 2 x 400 SS Beograd 50 – SY Čibuk 1 (phase A) and planned infrastructure for wind farm Vetrozelena, which is between existing SY Čibuk 1 and overhead line 2x400kV br. 436AB TS Pančevo 2 – Rešica. Location defined for wind farm is close to Special nature location Deliblatska peščara, which is one of the most important habitats for birds in Serbia with 167 species, where most of them are protected by authorities. Also, Deliblatska peščara is also Special Protection Area – SPA in network Natura 2000 by EU. According to the Strategic Environmental Assessment, the most frequent wind is southeast wind – so called „košava“. Period without wind is about 34 days per year. Average speed of wind is 3,5 m/s during the winter. Sometimes during winter, košava can reach the speed even above 20 m/s with an intensity of hurricane.
