Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rehabilitation and Modernisation of Čapljina Pump Storage Hydropower Plant

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rehabilitation and Modernisation of Čapljina Pump Storage Hydropower Plant

Project Description

The Pump Storage Hydro Power Plant (PSHPP) Čapljina plays a vital role in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s energy sector. With nearly 70% of electricity production relying on coal-fired plants, rehabilitating PSHPP Čapljina is essential for increasing the share of renewable energy sources and reducing carbon emissions. The plant has been in operation since 1979 and generates climate-friendly electricity, improving energy security by balancing the grid. The objective of this investment project is to upgrade the plant's equipment, ensuring generation and pumping potential for another 15 years of operation while reducing CO2 emissions and improving air quality.

The EU co-funds the investments under Flagship 4 - Renewable energy - of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans through the WBIF.
