Fortis Energy Secures Permit For 270 MW Solar + 72 MWh Storage Project In Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia

Fortis Energy has received the official construction permit for its large-scale solar and energy storage project in Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia. The development will include a 270 MWp photovoltaic power plant combined with a 72 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and has already secured a grid connection permit for 180 MW (AC). The project site is located south of the Sava River, near the village of Drenovac. During the permitting stage, Fortis Energy worked in close cooperation with the Sremska Mitrovica administration, maintaining transparent dialogue and carrying out detailed technical and environmental assessments.

This process emphasized the project’s focus on sustainable development and highlighted the socio-economic benefits it will bring to the region through the generation of clean renewable energy. Construction of the project is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026. Once completed, it is expected to become one of the largest solar and storage facilities in Southeast Europe. Fortis Energy is currently advancing more than 2.5 GW of renewable energy projects, with a target of reaching 1.2 GW of installed capacity by 2027.

This growth is driven by its Green Baseload strategy, which aims to build a stable and sustainable energy model by integrating solar, wind, and biogas with battery storage to replace traditional fossil fuel plants. This strategic investment reinforces Fortis Energy’s commitment to accelerating the energy transition while strengthening its role as a leading renewable energy provider in the Central and Eastern European market.
