110 kV Power Line between Košava Switchyard and Vršac 1 Substation

Construction and adaptation of power lines for connection of Košava Wind Farm to the transmission system was carried out in 2018-2019 across South Banat District residential areas, under investor Prime General Constructions doo Beograd / EMS, funded by MK Fintel Wind a.d. Beograd.

As the connection of Košava Wind Farm to the transmission system was required, a new 110 kV power line was constructed stretching from Košava Switchyard to the point of connection to the existing 110 kV power line no. 151/3, as well as the adaptation of the existing power line between the connection point and Vršac 1 Substation. The newly constructed section is 16.1 km long and has 75 steel lattice Christmas-tree-shaped towers. The new section also included complete electrical installation work and a 3xAl/Steel-240/40 mm² conductor was installed. The part of the existing transmission line undergoing adaptation is 5.8 km long and has 19 portal pylons. Their existing conductor was replaced with a special 3×ACCC Helsinki conductor, which was then used in Serbia for the first time. OPGW with 48 optical fibres was also installed in the entire section.

The Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia anticipates construction of wind farms. In Vršac region, one of the planned wind farms is Košava Wind Farm with power lines for connecting Košava Wind Farm to the transmission network. The construction of wind farms results in generation of electricity from renewable sources, i.e. from wind energy, which makes Serbia strategically positioned as a green energy producer.
