The TPP Pljevlja, Montenegro’s only coal-fired power plant, is scheduled to suspend operations on 15 April for a month-long maintenance and upgrade initiative. This planned downtime, announced by Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG), aims to enhance the facility’s operational efficiency and environmental compliance.
During this period, the plant will undergo significant technical work, including system upgrades that are part of an ongoing environmental refurbishment project. The maintenance is strategically timed to coincide with the final phase of these upgrades, allowing for comprehensive adjustments following recent successful tests of key components such as the boiler.
Focus areas for the maintenance activities include mechanical systems and critical units involved in coal and water preparation, alongside electrical equipment. Furthermore, efforts will be intensified to improve emission control systems, thereby enhancing the plant’s overall reliability and sustainability.
EPCG has coordinated closely with the operator of the coalmine to ensure that stock management remains unaffected during this outage. This proactive approach is expected to mitigate any potential disruptions in supply planning, thereby maintaining stability in Montenegro’s energy landscape while the upgrades are implemented.
