Background
Aluminium producer Aluminij is Bosnia-Herzegovina’s largest power consumer. As of 2013, the company received a positive response from Bosnian Croat power utility Elekltroprivreda HZHB to form a partnership to build a 500-MW coal-fired plant at the site of its smelter plant in Glinica, at an estimated cost of €1 billion ($1.27 billion). Aluminij intended to purchase almost half the planned plant’s production, with the remaining output available for sale domestically and regionally. In a statement issued by the company, general director Nikola Kresic stated, "We badly need around 100 MW of ‘safe’ energy that does not depend on the whims of nature, such as drought, snow and other factors. A press report also cited the company's unwillingness "to become hostage to Russian gas supplies coming through a pipeline via Republika Srpska and Serbia.[1]
As of 2014 project sponsor Aluminij Mostar was in financial difficulties and it was unlikely that the project would proceed.[2]
In April 2023, Bosnia and Herzegovina announced a draft national energy plan until 2030 that foresees no new coal-fired plants.[3] However the final plan has not yet been presented, as of December 2024.
