Kongora lignite deposit

The Kongora lignite deposit has been proposed by the government of the Bosnian Federation as a project which could developed to fuel the proposed 2,275 megawatt mine-mouth Kongora Thermal Power Plant in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Background
The power station proposal has been investigated by Elektroprivreda Hrvatske zajednice Herceg Bosne (Elektroprivreda HZHB), a publicly owned power utility in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The proposed plant has been estimated to cost 1.1 billion euros and be located near Tomislavgrad. Elektroprivreda HZHB estimates that the plant would require approximately 3.6 million tonnes of lignite a year from the as yet undeveloped adjoining Kongora lignite deposit.
