Bosnian power utility Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (ERS) said on Thursday
it signed contracts for the sale of a total of 43,200 MWh of surplus electricity
available for delivery in June with the local unit of Slovenian electricity and
gas trading group Gen-I.
ERS received two bids in a tender for the sale
of June surplus energy - from Gen-I and from Sarajevo-based Petrol BH Oil
Company, a spokesperson for ERS said in an emailed response to a SeeNews
inquiry.
Gen-I won the contracts in all three lots after filing better
offers, ERS said, adding that the achieved prices are at the level of dominant
prices on the electricity market in the region.
On May 14, ERS published
a tender for the sale of surplus electricity in June. The bidding deadline was
May 20.
ERS has an installed power generating capacity of 1,348 MW. The
average annual energy production from existing production facilities is
approximately 5,000 GWh.
ERS is the power utility of Bosnia's Serb
Republic,one of the two autonomous entities that form Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The other one is the Muslim-Croat Federation.
Bosnia has a further two
power utilities - Elektroprivreda HZHB and Elektroprivreda BiH, the largest of
the three, both based in the Federation.
