The municipality of Kula is set to become the site for an ambitious agrosolar power plant project with a total capacity of approximately 800 MW. According to the draft detailed regulation plan made available for public inspection, the Agrosolar project, led by Agrosolar d.o.o. Belgrade, is planned to span over 700 hectares.
The project is designed to develop in two phases across 714 hectares within Kula’s administrative borders. While the solar power plant’s total capacity is projected to reach 800 MW, the exact capacity of individual solar panels will be determined during the technical development phase, depending on project implementation timelines and the technical characteristics of the panels used.
Importantly, the proposed capacity is not a binding urban planning parameter and can be adjusted based on technological advancements, with no impact on the project’s staged implementation or overall execution.
The land targeted for the agrosolar power plant is primarily privately-owned agricultural land, consisting mostly of 2nd and 3rd-class arable fields, which currently have access to uncategorized roads suitable for agricultural machinery.
The land will be categorized into several zones:
- SE Zone: Areas dedicated to the smooth operation of both solar power production and agricultural activities.
- Subzone SE 1: Zones located within the III sanitary protection zone of the “ŠTOLC” water catchment area, supporting both electricity generation and agriculture.
- P Zone: Agricultural land for undisturbed farming in the direct vicinity of the solar power plant.
- PZ Zone: Agricultural land governed by the Kula Urban Development Plan (PPO).
- SPO Zone: Traffic areas within the project site.
- EE Zone: Infrastructure areas supporting the solar project, including the construction of a high-voltage substation and a Y/0.4 kV substation for the self-consumption needs of the solar plant’s facilities.
Projektura, a Belgrade-based company, is responsible for the development of the plan, with public inspection open until January 5.
The Agrosolar project is a joint venture between Kula Solar and MK Green Energy Limited. Following their success in wind energy production, MK, together with Fintel Energija, has initiated the Agrosolar Kula project, representing a €340 million investment. This agrosolar initiative is the first of its kind in the Balkans and the largest currently in Europe.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
