The wind farm, the first in the country, cost 82 million euro ($101.1 million) to build and consists of 22 wind turbines, EP HZHB said in a statement on Monday.
In April 2016, the power utility announced it has awarded a 71.9 million euro contract for the construction of the first lot of the wind farm to a consortium led by German engineering group Siemens.
The construction of the second lot was awarded to a consortium consisting of Croatia's ABB and Elektrocentar Petek for 4.3 million euro.
