Two wind farms on the plateau
Krnovo’s turbines have been part of the plateau’s skyline since 2017. The wind farm has 26 GE turbines and a capacity of 72 MW. Its project company is Krnovo Green Energy. Akuo developed the project, and Masdar acquired a 49% share in 2018. Financing included support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Nearby Gvozd has added a second wind farm to the area. Its first phase has eight Nordex turbines and a capacity of about 55 MW. Owned by EPCG, it formally entered trial operation on May 9, 2026. The first phase was financed through an €82 million arrangement led by EBRD. In 2025 EBRD agreed a further €26 million loan for three more turbines, taking Gvozd from 55 MW to 75 MW, with commissioning of the full capacity expected by the end of 2026. Anyone weighing the view or the access roads should check the current layout and construction program rather than the first-phase figures.
Living next to turbines
For a prospective neighbor, the useful inspection happens at the places where daily life would take place: outside the house, along the access road and on the part of the land intended for regular use. A turbine that looks distant in a wide photograph may be more prominent from a particular window or terrace.
Visit in different wind conditions and spend time listening as well as looking. An evening visit can help you assess the view after dark. Speak with nearby residents about traffic associated with maintenance, and ask who is responsible for the roads used to reach the property.
Lines, substations and access rights
Check the position of overhead lines, substations and any registered access rights against the cadastral documents. Establish whether maintenance vehicles have rights to cross any part of the land. The documents and access guide covers those inquiries.
