Due to problems in the transmission network, on the 400 kV transmission line, there was an outage of the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant from the power system this morning.
The director of the Pljevlja thermal power plant, Luka Jovanović, said that work is being done to establish control over all parameters of the thermal power plant.
"Since it's a process that lasts, in principle, about two days...with the goal of returning to the network by the end of tomorrow," said Jovanović.
Srđan Kovačević, president of the Board of Directors of EPCG, said that there is nowhere else to buy electricity
"We have enough coal," he said.
EPCG previously said that they expect the Thermal Power Plant to be in operation tomorrow (Tuesday) in the afternoon.
"Meanwhile, EPCG uses even small reserves of its own production capacity and keeps the power system stable," they announced.
Srđan Kovačević, president of the Board of Directors of EPCG, said that there is nowhere else to buy electricity.
"We bought everything we found on the market, the average price is 150 euros per megawatt hour, or three times higher than normal," he said. "We have electricity until next Monday."
Miners for the record
EPCG announced that it is making extraordinary efforts to ensure an orderly supply of electricity
"The previous savings in this situation are not enough, that's why we continue to call on companies, local self-governments and citizens to save as much as possible and adhere to the recommendations for saving electricity," EPCG announced.
On Sunday, the thermal power plant delivered 4,6 million kilowatt hours, or almost 50 percent of consumption in Montenegro. Miners delivered record quantities of coal in recent days under difficult conditions.
Turn off billboards and shop windows!
"In the area of all municipalities in Montenegro, the reduction of public lighting last night (Sunday) was over 90 percent. We appeal to business entities to reduce decorative lighting as well (shop windows, illuminated advertisements, billboards, citylights, approach lighting, etc.)", it was announced. .
The following days will be the best indicator of the effectiveness of austerity measures. The situation in the region is still critical, because some countries in the region have banned the export of electricity, which has led to a shortage on the international market.
EPCG announced that it is making extraordinary efforts to ensure an orderly supply of electricity in this complex and difficult situation.
