Revitalization of our only pumped storage hydroelectric power plant


Although major and regular overhauls of thermal capacities are planned, and electricity consumption is breaking all summer records, Elektroprivreda Srbije ensures sufficient electricity amounts and a stable supply of citizens and businesses.

- One of the PSHPP Bajina Bašta units is back in operation, after a major overhaul of the inlet and drainage system, revitalization of spherical gates of both units and rehabilitation of the inclined pipeline of the power plant have been completed. This means another 300 megawatts online, which will contribute to Serbia’s energy security at a time of probably an unprecedentedly long heat wave that has hit our country, Dusan Zivkovic, the general manager of Elektroprivreda Srbije, said in Bajina Basta.

- One unit here in Bajina Bašta is online again, which means that along with additional generation, this will also contribute to the optimization of generation capacities to secure additional electricity amounts under the most favorable conditions, Živković said. He added that at the same time, revitalization of the R1 unit is underway.

- The revitalization of our only pumped storage hydroelectric power plant began after 42 years of operation and could no longer be postponed. The works on the first unit will be completed in late November, while next year we are expecting the revitalization of the second unit - the general manager of EPS said.
