Power Plants in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina has 42 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 64th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 14 operating and 27 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 3.9 GW across 14 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Ugljevik power station (700 MW).
The largest owner-operators are Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (ERS) (6), Pension Reserve Fund of the Republic of Srpska (5) and Republic of Srpska Restitution Fund (5) — Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (ERS) alone is named on 14% of them. Half of Bosnia and Herzegovina's power plants in service predate 1981 (median commissioning year of the 14 with a known date), 1 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Jablanica hydroelectric plant, dating from 1955. 27 are in the pipeline, led by Ugljevik power station (700 MW), under construction. They account for 58% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
