Montenegro Approves €40 Million Grid Infrastructure Acquisition for 488 MW Wind Projects
Montenegro’s electricity transmission operator CGES has received shareholder approval to acquire grid infrastructure valued at approximately €40 million for two proposed wind farms with 488 MW of combined capacity. The projects comprise the 136 MW Sinjajevina 1 wind farm, developed by Energy 2, and the 352 MW Sinjajevina 2 project, developed by a consortium involving N1, SISTEM-MNE and Permonte. The required infrastructure includes a 400/110 kV substation and associated transmission connections. The Sinjajevina 2 developers will construct the infrastructure, which CGES will subsequently acquire through instalments over ten years. Grid connection infrastructure is expected to enter operation in 2030, subject to project development and construction progress.

Ukraine Secures €290 Million Commitments for Renewable Energy Investment Support Programme
Ukraine has secured approximately €290 million in funding commitments for its RAMP UP renewable-energy support mechanism, approaching the programme’s €300 million target. Germany committed €44.7 million through KfW Development Bank, while Norway pledged approximately €10.2 million through Norad. The programme is implemented by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the World Bank Group. It will provide 15-year electricity price guarantees to support investment in new wind and hybrid solar-plus-storage projects. The mechanism targets approximately 1 GW of renewable-energy development and could mobilise around €1.5 billion in investment. The first auction is expected before the end of 2026.
