Serbia will be getting its first wind farm courtesy of the Belo Blato Wind Farm which will be a 20MW wind farm developed by Green Star Alternative Energy, Inc. This wind farm will be the initial phase of a proposed 300MW wind project.

It is expected that the Belo Blato wind energy project will be completed by the second half of 2009 and when it is at full capacity will be capable of providing electricity to up to 6,000 homes. The company plans to also use the land upon which the wind turbines will be sited to grow and sell wheat in a bid to maximise the use of the ground.

The wind farm will be situated on 89 hectares of land that has been permitted for wind power and agriculture north of Belgrade. This region is host to some of the most constant winds in the country offering excellent potential for reliable electricity production.

J. M. De Castro, CFO of Green Star Alternative Energy, stated: “The Belo Blato wind project is progressing through the final stages prior to construction. A feasibility study has been completed and permits are in process. We expect construction to begin in early 2009 with the first turbine operating in the second quarter. This project marks a new era of clean energy generation for Serbia. Green Star Alternative Energy is proud to be a part of it.”
