Pljevlja II Power Station

The Pljevlja power station is a 210 MW power station in Pljevlja, Montenegro, operated by Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG). It has been in operation since 1982 and is fueled by lignite coal.

A second 210-MW unit at Pljevlja, Pljevlja II Power Station, has been in planning by EPCG.

Station Details
The plant is Montenegro's only coal-fired power station and supplies up to 30% of the country's electric power. Most fuel is supplied from two surface mines operated by Rudnik uglja ad Pljevlja. The older mine is Potrlica, where mining began in 1952. Sumani I is a newer mine with lesser-quality lignite coal.
