Small Hydro Power Plant – Sekular, as our final project in the catchment of the Sekularska river, represents largest sHPP on this waterflow. Considering that realization of this project will represent fulfilling of the all conditions from the concession contract for Sekularska river, Hidroenergija decided to start construction of sHPP Sekular at beginning of 2015. For construction works on this project we decided to chose the same company that was in charge for this type of works on all of our projects Bemax Podgorica. Hydromechanical equipment was ordered from reputable Austrian company in production of turbines Geppert GMBH that was our partner on the projects sHPP Jezerstica and sHPP Orah. GRP materials for penstock construction were purchased from Turkish company Subor Boru as one of our partners that is engaged on all of our projects. Middle voltage facility and control system for this project were purchased from Sintaksa Split that was our partner on all of our plants and provided us with expected quality of equipment and service.

After construction of sHPP Sekular and installation of the equipment for safe power generation from this facility, this plant became operational in January 2016. Since commissioning of sHPP Sekular Hidroenergija Montenegro has constant and safe production from all planned capacities on Sekular river, and fulfills all obligations defined in concession contract for this waterflow.

Small Hydro Power Plant – Sekular is our final project in the catchment of the Sekularska river, the largest sHPP on this waterflow.
