Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant to suspend production for maintenance

The Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant in Montenegro will temporarily suspend electricity production at the end of October. The shutdown is scheduled for routine winter maintenance to prepare the facility for upcoming winter operating conditions.

Executive Director Ivan Starovlah stated that the maintenance period, expected to take place during the first half of November, will involve inspection reviews and repairs of identified technical deficiencies. The scope of work includes production systems, ecological reconstruction facilities, ash transport systems, valves, and wastewater treatment plants to ensure reliable operation throughout the winter.

The company reported positive production results for the year, having delivered over 1,070,000 megawatt-hours of electricity to the system since the beginning of the year, exceeding previous plans. Management also noted improved efficiency in desulfurization and denitrification systems, which has positively impacted local air quality.
