Regional Cooperation for a Stronger Power System
On the initiative of Independent System Operator in BiH (NOSBiH) it was held a regional meeting with representatives of Montenegrin Electric Transmission System (CGES) and Elektroprijenos BiH with the aim of improving the electricity transmission infrastructure and strengthening regional cooperation.
The key topic of the meeting was implementation of strategically important projects such as the construction of 400 kV interconnection Sarajevo – Brezna and the reconstruction, that is, increase in the transmission capacity of the existing OHL 220 kV Trebinje – Perućica.
