The installed capacity of Montenegrin thermal
power plant (TPP) Pljevlja has increasedto 223 MW from 190 MW thanks to two
upgrades in the past three years, state-controlled power utility Elektroprivreda
Crne Gore (EPCG) said in the June edition of its corporate
newsletter.
During this year’s 30-day annual maintenance the capacity of
TPP Pljevlja was upped by a 5 MW while keeping coal consumption unchanged, EPCG
said.
TPP Pljevlja generated 410,000 MWh of electricity in the first
quarter of 2015, 5.5% ahead of plan. The power station delivered 1,317 GWh of
electricity to the Montenegrin grid in 2014.
EPCG, which plans to raise
output to 3,159 GWh this year from 3,036 GWh in 2014, operates around 870 MW of
installed generation capacity. The company's net profit rose 38% to 34.7 million
euro ($39 million) in 2014.
