TheBajgora Wind Farm (Albanian:Parku i Erës Bajgora) is the largestwind farm inKosovo. It has anameplate capacity of 102.6 MW and it is estimated to have a total annual output of 320 GWh, while the system is designed to be operated for at least 25 years.[1]
The Bajgora Wind Farm consist of 27wind turbines of type GE 3.8 - 137, each one having 3.8 MW nameplate capacity. The hub height is 110 meters and the rotor diameter is 137 meters.[1] Each of the turbines has three blades with a diameter of 19.8 meters that are attached to the turbine rotor that converts the movement into energy.[2] It first started to feed electricity into the grid with nine generators in November 2021. Also, a 120 MW substation was built to transform the wind farm's electricity to the 110 kV level.[3]
The Bajgora Wind Farm is located about 40 kilometers north ofPrishtina in the southern foothills of theKopaonik Mountains, and it is in an altitude of 1800 m. It accounts for a tenth of the domestic installed capacity in Kosovo.[3]
