Background
The proposed 2,275 megawatt 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.

Elektroprivreda HZHB state that a pre-feasibility study on the proposed mine and power station, titled Coal mine and TPP Kongora", was undertaken in 1998 by the German company, Rheinbraun Enginering und Wasser GmbH. Further reserve estimation work on the Kongora lignite deposit was undertaken in 2009.

In a 2007 document, Elektroprivreda HZHB stated that it estimated construction would begin in "mid 2012" and the seventh generating unit in the proposed plant be commissioned in 2017.
