Chinese wind-turbine manufacturer Dongfang Wind Power has signed a contract to deliver 48 wind turbines for a 300 MW wind power project in Serbia, with a total investment value of €495 million. The project is set to become the largest wind farm in Serbia and across Eastern Europe, positioning the country among the region’s leading renewable-energy markets.
The wind farm, internationally referred to as Vitello and known locally as the Vetrozelena project, will be located in the wider Pančevo area, a region already established as an industrial and energy hub. Once completed, the project will significantly expand Serbia’s installed renewable capacity and strengthen the balance of its electricity system, particularly in northern and eastern parts of the country.
Each turbine supplied under the contract will have an individual capacity of 6.25 MW, representing a new generation of large-scale onshore wind technology. At full operation, the wind farm is expected to produce around 774 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to supply a substantial share of household consumption while reducing Serbia’s reliance on fossil-fuel generation.
The main investor and engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the project is China Power Construction Group. The company is responsible for the full project scope, including turbine delivery, construction works, grid connection and commissioning. The investment forms part of broader Chinese participation in Serbia’s energy infrastructure and reflects growing cooperation in large-scale power projects.
Project developers state that the turbine design and technical specifications were adapted to Serbian regulatory requirements, local wind conditions and grid standards. Engineering adjustments focused on wind resistance, low-temperature performance and grid compatibility, with the objective of ensuring reliable operation over a planned 30-year operating life.
Although detailed construction timelines have not yet been publicly disclosed, commercial operation is expected to begin in 2027. Once completed, the wind farm will represent a landmark investment for Serbia’s energy transition, both in terms of scale and technology, and will reinforce the country’s position as a key onshore wind market in Eastern Europe.
