Dušan Torbica, President of Elnos Group Management Board: Solutions, not excuses - the formula for success in 18 markets

This was announced by Dušan Torbica, the president of the Elnos Group, which marks eight decades of tradition this year, three decades of modern business and operates in a total of 18 markets in the region and Europe.

- I would say, in short - reliability. That is the key to our success. We are always guided by the principle: what is agreed must be implemented. If you give your word and don`t put it into action, it can last a day, a month, even a year, but at some point your business story has to take a downward trajectory. And that`s the "secret". As much as it is important to us that we are satisfied with the completed work, I can freely say - we are even more happy when our business partners tell us that we have exceeded their expectations. Reputation is hard to build and easy to lose. That`s why we never took any risks and that`s why we`re where we are. Today, we are working on really big projects, but we approach every job, despite, as you mentioned, eight decades of tradition and three decades of modern business, as if it were the first. What do I want to say? In our work, there is no place for amateurism. We do not rely on old glory. We strive to be better today than we were yesterday. Every day for us is a new opportunity.

- Exactly, Elnos Serbia has signed an EPC contract with Sinohydro Corporation Limited, a subsidiary of Power China Construction Group, for the construction of the Vetrozelena wind farm, which will be the largest single wind project in the Balkans. Vetrozelena will have a total power of 300 MW, and 48 turbines with a single power of 6.25 MW. Elnos Srbija, as a member of the Elnos Group, will undertake the implementation of the complete connection to the transmission system of Elektromreža Srbija. This work includes the construction of a 35/400 kV substation with four 90 MVA transformers, a 400 kV connection and distribution plant with six fields, a connection two-system 400 kV transmission line 7.5 kilometers long, as well as accompanying infrastructure upgrades within the power distribution and telecommunications network. This project represents another contract concluded under the EPC principle, within which Elnos Srbija realizes complete engineering. The expertise and dedication of our engineers, technicians and fitters, comprehensive knowledge and rich experience on similar projects, along with the financial and organizational stability of the company, give us firm confidence that we will realize this project successfully and within the agreed deadlines. Certainly, just as you said, this project will contribute to the additional development of our competences, but also to the strengthening of our position in the field of renewable energy sources.
