The Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant was connected to the grid this morning at 6:11 a.m., after being out of operation for eight months due to environmental reconstruction.
The environmental reconstruction of Montenegro's largest energy facility began in April 2022, and it has been out of production since the beginning of April this year.
The thermal power plant will be in trial operation for the coming months until the operation of all newly installed segments is tested.
Ecological reconstruction will significantly reduce pollution and enable district heating in Pljevlja.
Due to an eight-month break in operations, Elektroprivreda imported around 800 thousand megawatts to supply consumers, which, along with poor hydrology, created a loss of 90 million euros during that period.
The ecological reconstruction was carried out by a consortium consisting of the Chinese company DEC International and its domestic subcontractors Bemax, BB Solar and Permonte, which were selected in a tender at the end of 2019.
