In
2021, the hydro power plant Zvornik continues with breaking records. The
absolute record in annual production of electricity in 66 year-old history of
this power plant was broken yesterday and 579.29 million kWh has been produced
in 2021. According to the actual information, the annual production plan in
2021 will be exceeded by 62 percent.
This
is a result of operation of fully rehabilitated units where main electrical and
mechanical equipment was completely replaced during a four-year rehabilitation
period. Completely new turbines, generators, step-up transformers, 110 kV
switchyards, control and electrical protection system, as well as other
auxiliary systems were installed. The units were put into operation
successively, between 2016 and 2020.
The
capacity of the hydro power plant Zvornik has been increased by additional 30
megawatts and it is 122.3 megawatts now. The rehabilitation contributed to
reduced maintenance costs, the environmental aspect has been improved with
enhanced environment preservation, and the life cycle of this power plant has
been extended by additional 40 years.
