The announcement is that the wind farm “Maestral ring” will produce enough electricity for 200,000 households.
The City Assembly has just adopted a Detailed Regulation Plan for the construction of the largest wind farm in the country. The wind farm will cover 6,700 hectares of land in the area of the settlements of Chantavir, Novi Zednik, Backo Dusanovo and Visnjevac. The wind farm will be built by the company “Maestral ring”, whose founder, according to the data of the Agency for Business Registers, is “Fintel energija”, and the first estimates say that its value is around 700 million euros.
“When completed, the wind farm will produce over 1,000 giga hours of electricity a year, which is enough to supply 200,000 households,” said Predrag Radivojevic, director of the Public Company for Road Management, Urban Planning and Housing.
He explained that all legal frameworks were respected in the procedure of drafting the plan, the plan was on equal public inspection, as well as on public inspection. The plan took special care of nature protection, the conditions for such large projects are issued by the ministry and they are rigorous.
The remarks made at the assembly about the distance of a thousand meters from the inhabited place are not valid because these criteria are in force in Germany as well, and we do not have densely populated places here.
In addition, the city will benefit from the construction of 100 kilometers of Atar roads, which will be equipped with equipment for 113 power points. Also, during the construction of the wind farm ‘Maestral ring’, between 300 and 400 people will be hired,” Radivojevic continued.
The adopted plan of detailed regulation is the first, basic document which is a precondition for further development of conceptual and main projects that the investor submits to the republic and provincial institutions.
The detailed regulation plan states that the possible type of wind turbine is with a rotor height of 149 meters, and a propeller radius of 162 meters.
Although only the first of a series of necessary documents has been passed, some residents are already benefiting from the construction of the wind farm. Since last year, the investor has started to “capture” the fields on which wind generators should be placed.
The Kecenovic brothers, owners of large agricultural properties in Chantavir, told the media that they received 500 euros per year, so that wind generators could be installed on a part of their country. The contracts were concluded for 30 years, and in the year when the wind generators will be installed, the fee will amount to one thousand euros, Politika reports.
