PERMITTING PROCESS – FROM THE BEGGINING

• In 2008 wind park “MIROVCI” was started as a JV company between KAN an a strategic foreign

investor.

• In 2013 due to some political and legislation changes the project was split up and partially sold.
• All projects permits and more than 650 dka purchased land remain KAN’s ownership.
• At this stage wind park “MIROVCI” wind power plant project capacity is about 100 MW
• (22 wind turbines, 4.5MW capacity each) and a possibility for 40 additional MW (9 additional

turbines, 4.5MW each).

• Construction permit (for foundation construction) received for 22 plots.

PERMITTING PROCESS – CURRENT STATUS

CURRENT STAGE WIND PARK MIROVTSI
