Kosovo’s wind sector is growing. According to reporting by Balkan Green Energy News (Igor Todorović; published May 4, 2026, updated August 25, 2026), Turkey-based Çalık Renewables and domestic company Eurokos are building a 72 MW wind power plant at Zatriq (Zatrić, municipality of Rahovec-Orahovac). Completion was expected in July, per the same report.
Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Minister of Economy Artane Rizvanolli visited the site while it was under construction. Çalık Enerji (Çalık Holding) had secured about EUR 112 million in financing roughly a year earlier. The project is described as the group’s first renewable investment outside Turkey, and the first wind project supported by Swiss Export Risk Insurance (SERV).
What the report says about the build
- 12 turbines in total; at the time of the visit, four were already installed, with more due shortly after
- Construction team cited: 175 people, including 130 domestic workers
- Project value cited by Eurokos: EUR 124.4 million
- Expected generation: 185 GWh per year (about 45,000 households, as stated by the minister)
- Grid connection via a 110 kV overhead line
- Turbine supply: cooperation with GE Vernova; 79-meter blades mentioned
Kosovo already hosts other wind facilities named in that article: Selac/Bajgora (104.1 MW), Kitka (32.4 MW), and Golesh (1.35 MW).
Why this matters for Evergreen
More turbines in the region mean more need for careful, manufacturer-aligned care after commissioning — planned maintenance, inspections, and uptower work that protect uptime. Evergreen Wind Services is an independent O&M provider based in Mitrovica. We are not a party to the Zatriq construction project; we share this as regional industry context.
