Montenegro's energy outlook to 2031
Trends shaping solar, wind, storage and the grid in Montenegro toward 2031, including the subsea link to Italy and the Pljevlja coal plant transition.
A small grid with a big cable
The 500 kV HVDC cable between Lastva and Pescara links Montenegro to Italy. It turns the country into a potential exporter of renewable power and makes coastal 400 kV nodes valuable.
Coal transition
The Pljevlja coal plant in the north is the largest single source. Its future shapes how much room opens for new solar, wind and storage.
Renewables
Krnovo and Možura wind farms already operate. Large solar projects have been proposed around Briska Gora near Ulcinj and in the Nikšić area. Gridscouter scores are estimates from open map data, not grid operator capacity figures. Confirm connection capacity with the grid operator.
