Construction completion
of the Kolubara B TPP (2x350 MW)
The Kolubara B TPP is located in the vicinity of the Kalenic village, 60 km south-west from
Belgrade, at the northern side of the Tamnava Open Cast Mine.
Decision on construction of the Kolubara B CHP, capacity 2x350 MW, was adopted in
1983. It was designed as the facility for combined generation of electricity and heat with the
intention of heat delivery to Belgrade for its district heating system.
Preparation activities have been started in 1988 by execution of construction works,
while the construction continued in accordance with available funds. Procurement of the
third part of the basic equipment was contracted and mostly delivered. Initiated activities
on project implementation and usage of the World Bank loan have progressed very slowly,
and in the middle of 1992 due to decision of the Government and lack of funding activities
were completely suspended.
By 1992, when works were suspended due to sanctions, about 40% of the facility was
constructed at the site. After that, only the most essential activities have been done. As a
result of the changed concept of heat supply to Belgrade, operational regime was changed,
i.e. the facility will operate in condensation regime.
In the second half of the nineties the issue of construction continuation was opened
again, but without major progress. In the beginning of 2000 the issue of construction continuation became topical again, summary of previous investments has been made, together
with construction continuation feasibility assessment, when it was concluded that there are
technical-technological solutions guaranteeing modern operating parameters in the rank
of modern thermal power units.

PROJECT STATUS
Retention of the cogeneration concept of electricity and heat in the context of investment capital attraction requires the formation of an institutional framework for long-term
public interest protection in the field of energy supply, with simultaneous protection of future investor interests under the Novi Sad CHP reconstruction project. This may be achieved
through the joint interest of EPS and the City of Novi Sad, i.e. formation of a joint company
Energija Novi Sad. By recognizing this concept, support of the Serbian Government was
obtained and agreement achieved with administration of Novi Sad, whereby initial assumptions have been created for intensive project development, i.e. selection of the strategic
partner with whom this project would be implemented.
IMPLEMENTATION MANNER
It is expected that strategic partner will be
elected through transparent tender procedure by the end of 2011.

NEW PROJECTS
For the purpose of further development and construction of thermal units at this location, it became necessary to analyze possibilities and feasibility of construction continuation, through the construction of state-of-the-art unit of total capacity ca. 350 MW, with
technicaltechnological solutions of units of this capacity level, purpose and fuel type, and
observation of all environmental measures.
In the period by 1991 the first construction phase was executed and it includes two units
with total installed capacity of 697 MW, i.e. including two units of 348.5 MW, and two more
units of the same power are anticipated to be constructed at the same location by the design documents. During the first construction phase of the Kostolac B TPP some joint facilities and structures are constructed for the needs of the second phase of construction.
The second phase of construction would be implemented by the new unit B3 construction, with capacity of approximately 350 MW.
Exact location of the new unit at this location was based on the requirement for high
functionality of technological process, with observation of the basic assumptions:
- New unit B3 will be constructed in continuation of existing units B1 and B2
- Installed capacity of this unit will be about 350 MW
- There will be no further construction on this location
- New unit will be fitted in architectural, construction and technological terms into
the existing layout, in accordance with the available area, taking into account facilities
executed within phase one of the construction, as well as the area for the location of
the environmental capacities.

PSHPP Bistrica
Among the most attractive new hydro-power facilities is certainly the new 680 MW
pumped-storage Bistrica hydro-power plant, in the vicinity of the existing Bistrica HPP. The
upper reservoir of the Bistrica PSHPP is the newly designed reservoir of Klak on the Uvac
River, immediately downstream from the Radojnja reservoir, with an energy storage capacity of about 60 GWh, while the lower reservoir is the existing reservoir of the Potpe HPP. The
importance and role of the Bistrica PSHPP are particularly prominent on the regional energy
market, in particular owing to the existence of upstream storage reservoirs on the Uvac river
(Kokin Brod and Uvac), whose regulated water could be used for peak operation, together
with the existing Bistrica HPP, with installed capacity of 104 MW.

PSHPP Djerdap 3
The main concept of building of the Djerdap 3 PSHPP is based on using the existing
Djerdap 1 HPP reservoir as the lower reservoir and establishing the upper reservoirs in the
Pesaa river valley (construction phases I and II) and the Brodica river valley (construction
phases III and IV). The facility would have a head of about 400 m, and the selected location
for the Pesaa impoundment and the PSHPP powerhouse on the right bank of the Danube
River enables a relatively short headrace (L/H = 6.8), making this PSHPP an economically
advantageous solution.
In view of negligible natural inflow of water into the upper reservoirs, all energy is obtained by using water pumped from the lower reservoir, and the facilitys cost-effectiveness
is based on the peak and base energy price difference. Prominent features include favorable morphological, topographic and geological conditions for establishing the upper reservoirs, whose total live capacity will be about 578 hm3 (Pesaa reservoir 32.5 hm3, Brodica
reservoir 545 hm3).
The Conceptual Design, prepared in 1973, foresees construction in stages, as follows:
Phase I: Building the Pesaa dam, with live capacity of 18.5 hm3, 1,915 m headrace,
surge tank, 664 m steel pipeline and powerhouse with two units (pump turbines), and
installed capacity of 2 x 300 MW = 600 MW.
Phase II: Extending the Pesaa dam by 20 m in height to provide an additional capacity of 14.0 hm3 and building two additional generation units and penstocks with the
same properties as those from Phase I.
Phase III: entails building another set of penstocks with two units and extension of
the Pesaca reservoir by an additional 37.5 hm3 of live storage capacity; an alternative
solution that was considered would entail building the Brodica dam, with reservoir
capacity of about 545 hm3, thus providing the possibility of proceeding with Phase IV,
i.e. building an additional 600 MW of generation capacity. The reservoirs of Pesaa and
Brodica would operate according to the communicating vessels principle and would
be linked by an 8 km communicating tunnel. The energy storage capacity of these
reservoirs would total about 460 GWh and would have seasonal relevance.
The 1973 documentation specified Phases I and II, while PSHPP Djerdap 3 with the Brodica dam was specified in 1990 at the level of outline design (general design).

Strategic and development projects of the PE EPS anticipate the construction of new
thermal capacities, which require necessary coal amounts, as well as initiation of activities
for the development of new projects related with open cast mines.
Radljevo OCM
Radljevo Open cast mine is located in the western part of the Kolubara Mining Basin directly along the western border with Tamnava West Field OCM. Coal mining on this open
cast mine will unfold in extremely stratified operating environment, which has not been
treated in our open cast mines. Selective operation regime with the new equipment will
be present at the Radljevo OCM. Therefore, defining of equipment capacity parameters will
represent a key moment in cost-effectiveness of this production. Considering the above, the
Radljevo OCM will in future be a secure fuel supplier both of the existing and new thermal
units.

In the period from 1962 to 2004 in the area of the Radljevo OCM, some 359 boreholes
have been tested, together with the development of the study on reserves. During 2008
the study related to the selection of boundaries and opening with comparative overview
of technicaleconomical aspect of coal mining was done for the selection of priority coal
supplier of the Kolubara B TPP. According to the prefeasibility study, estimated investment
value for achievement of full capacity of 13 million tons annual at the Radljevo OCM is EUR
595 million.
PROJECT STATUS
Considering that prefeasibility study has been
adopted, further necessary documents should be developed as soon as possible for opening of this open

In the respect of the new thermal capacities construction and their commissioning, PE
EPS considered possibility of units capacity increase within the Nikola Tesla B TPP, in order
to reduce electricity deficiency impact. Analysis (ECORAM) has been developed, by which
measures and possibilities for capacity increase at the unit B2 are identified. This document
present base line for development of Preliminary Design, analyzing systems which have direct impact on the unit capacity increase.
Feasibility Study with the Preliminary Design, besides proposed measures for unit capacity increase, also analyzes economic feasibility of the observed technical-technological
solution within existing unit borders. This project anticipates bringing of all units and equipment into designed parameters with special measures and requirements for the unit capacity increase, and implementation of the environmental protection system within the legal
regulation.
Predicted measures are providing unit capacity increase for about 47 MW.
Here is about two units with the same capacity, that is why the same technical-technological solution will be used, where eventual technical deficiencies from the unit B2 will be
considered.
PROJECT VALUE
Estimated value of the necessary investments for the reconstruction of the unit B2 for the
purpose of nominal capacity increase is about EUR 22.7 million, which, at the same time,
presents the investment level for the unit B1.
PROJECT STATUS
Necessary measures for capacity increase on the unit B2 are planned to be implemented
during unit annual overhaul by 2012.
Reconstruction activities of the unit B1 would be implemented in period 2012 2014
during annual overhauls. Development of Preliminary Design with Feasibility Study will be
completed in 2011.
Construction of flue gas desulphurization on both units B1 and B2 is anticipated by

HPPs Vlasinske
The Vlasinske HPPs system is made of four cascade hydropower plants (The Vrla HPP 1, 2,
3, 4) and a pumping station Lisina PSP located in the south of the Republic of Serbia.
Vrla 1 HPP uses water from Vlasinsko Jezero, while other power plants (Vrla HPP 2, 3, 4)
have their own small reservoirs, using water from the lake for operation. Lisina PSP pumps
water from Lisinsko to Vlasinsko Jezero.
In the first phase of construction of Vlasinske HPPs, in the period between 1954 and 1958,
half of the anticipated equipment in each HPP was installed, total installed capacity 57 MW.
In the second construction phase, in the period between 1974 and1975, equipment was
completed in each of the hydropower plants and with the building of PSP Lisina. Consequently, installed capacity was increased for 72 MW (to the total of 129 MW ), as well as the
average annual generation from 150 GW h to 282 GW h.

For the purpose of operation life extension and equipment reliability and availability increase, preparation activities have been initiated for revitalization of this run-of-river hydropower plant.
Feasibility study indicated that it is economically favorable to increase the discharge capacity of the turbine, with corresponding capacity increase of generators and transformers.
By increasing installed flow from the current 18.5 m3/s (8.5 + 10) to 20 m3/s (9.5 + 10.5) it is
possible to achieve capacity increase for 10.2 GW h.

In the near future, distribution companies of PE EPS will have to deal with a large number
of requests from new producers of energy from alternative sources (photovoltage sources,
biomass, windturbines, small HPPs, cogeneration...) for connection to the network. This is
supposed to increase the energy efficiency of the power system, so distribution companies
will have to become an active player in the control of its part of the system.

ENVIRONMENT
PROTECTION
46
In the course of the last decade of the last century, environmental protection was unfortunately placed in the background. Consequences have left traces in the immediate environment of EPS facilities, as well as in trans-border transmission of negative impacts. Combustion products such as sulphur and nitrogen oxides together with dust are released into
the air and together with atmospheric precipitation they form acid rains having an adverse
impact on plant life.
One of the most significant changes compared to the previous period, with multi-dimensional importance for Serbia and its energy sector and thereby Electric Power Industry of
Serbia is surely the coming into force of the Contract on the Founding of Energy Community. By ratifying this Contract in the National Assembly, Electric Power Industry of Serbia has
undertaken an obligation of full application of Acquis Communautaire Environment (i.e. full
application of EU standards in the field of environment, related to the energy field).
By applying this document, Serbian energy sector has de jure become a part of EU in the
field of environment protection. Obligations from the contract promote the idea of accelerated liberalisation of electricity market in the countries of Eastern Europe at the same level
as in EU. In addition to this, this market should be fully opened for all consumers by 2015,
with the deadline for application of environmental protection regulations by 2017.
Having in mind that EPS is the largest company in Serbia, as well as the nature of technology and spatial expansion and the fact that the large part of economy is related to EPS and
that about 70% of all environmental problems are related to the energy sector, i.e. EPS, it is
not difficult to conclude that reform in this field within Electric Power Industry of Serbia is
firmly connected to the same reforms at the state level.
It should be noted that 30% of all obligations of the country in terms of EU harmonization and accession is related to environment protection. In this respect, EPS has made an
action plan for the settlement of environmental issues verified by the Management Board
of the company. The Serbian Government has accepted this Plan as an integral part of the
power sector development plan, as well as through the implementation programme of Energy Sector Development Strategy by 2015 adopted by the Government and the National
Assembly of Serbia and National Environmental Action Plan, National Sustainable Development Strategy and a series of other relevant documents.
Under the Action Plan some EUR 1.2 billion have been planned for flue gas desulphurization (necessary investment level is about EUR 530 million for existing power plants) and full
reconstruction of all electrostatic precipitators together with alignment of their operation
with emission levels prescribed by EU standards. In addition to this, replacement of ash and
slag transport technology was also planned, as well as introduction of continuous harmful gases monitoring system. Anticipated sources for implementation include: own funds,
loans, EU grant funds, donors, Environment Protection Fund of the Republic of Serbia and
National Investment Plan.
STRATEGIC AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
The forthcoming period is marked with harmful substance emission alignment with EU
requirements related to air emission reduction of harmful substances, especially Directive
2001/80/EC as well as other directives related to environment protection in the energy field.
Article 4 of the Contract on the Founding of SouthEast Europe Energy Community anticipates full recognition of Acquis Communautaire Environment.
According to the set of environmental laws which became effective at the end of 2004, PE
EPS is under obligation to align operation of its facilities with their provisions by 2015. This
means that environmental measures will have to be applied in accordance with best available techniques (BAT) under national regulations harmonised with EU regulations for new
facilities and those undergoing revitalisation:
- Flue gas desulphurisation and de-nitrification plants as well as high efficiency electrostatic precipitators will have to be installed in new thermal power facilities and those
undergoing revitalisation, together with waste water treatment plans and favourable
ash and slag handling systems;
- Within the mining sector, reclamation activities need to be implemented consequently, together with introduction of new methods, including selective mining and
disposal of top soil;
- Operational adaptation to the requirements of the UN Framework Convention on
Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, use of Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM)
anticipated for support to sustainable development of the developing countries, as
well as preparation for application of other flexible mechanisms and maximum use of
waste materials (ash, gypsum, clay, gravel, sand, oil, rubber, alternative fuels, etc) created in the course of EPS activities as secondary raw materials
Implementation of the following projects will be continued in the forthcoming period for
the purpose of emission harmonization and BAT introduction for emission reduction into
air and water:
PROJECT I RECONSTRUCTION OR REPLACEMENT OF THE EXISTING ELECTROSTATIC
PRECIPITATORS
Necessary funds for reconstruction of existing electrostatic precipitators of TPP Kostolac B and TPP Morava units amount to EUR 14 million
PROJECT II PRIMARY MEASURES FOR NOx EMISSION REDUCTION
Necessary funds for introduction of primary measures on TPP units amount to EUR
85.3 million, of which EUR 60 million for emission reduction on units with the capacity
over 300 MW
PROJECT III CONSTRUCTION OF FLUE GAS DESULPHURISATION PLANTS
Necessary funds for flue gas desulphurization plant introduction aimed at SO 2
emission reduction on units of TPP Kostolac B and units A3A6 of TPP Nikola Tesla A
amount to EUR 535 million.
PROJECT IV RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTING ASH AND SLAG TRANSPORT SYSTEM
TO THE DISPOSAL SITE
Necessary funds for introduction of new technology for ash and slag transport and
disposal on units A3A6 at TPP Nikola Tesla A amount to EUR 50 million.
PROJECT V OTHER AUXILLIARY AND COMPLEMENTARY PROJECTS
48
Replacement of existing hydraulic transport of ash and slag technology with thick slurry
transport technology (ashwater ratio 1:1) will enable reduction of adverse impact of TPP
Nikola Tesla B disposal sites on environment
By implementing modernization of existing and installation of new measures for air and
water protection on thermal power facilities of Electric Power Industry of Serbia, operation
of these facilities will be aligned with the requirements of domestic and EU regulations,
with simultaneous fulfillment of undertaken obligations under the signed Contract on the
Founding of South-East Europe Energy Community related to emission reduction (ELV) of
harmful substances. Thereby, one of the conditions for obtaining of an integral permit for
operation of thermal power facilities will be fulfilled while performance of activities after
2015 i.e. 2017 will be enabled..

PE EPS plans to finalise the construction of the Prvonek SHPP (900 kW) independently in
September 2011, located within the Prvonek dam close to Vranje. This project is valued at
EUR 1.4 million, while the annual generation of this small hydropower plant would be from
2.5 to 3 million kWh.
In addition to the Prvonek SHPP, EPS plans to build 17 new SHPPs and to revitalise 15
existing SHPPs. Together with the Prvonek SHPP this makes the total of 33 SHPPs, with the
capacity of 82.5 MW. The 33 SHPPs have been divided into four groups:
1. SHPPs owned by EPS revitalisation of 15 SHPPs
2. SHPPs on water management reservoirs which can also be used to generate electricity construction of 9 SHPPs (including the Prvonek SHPP),
3. SHPPs on the sites of existing HPPs and TPPs construction of 5 SHPPs,
4. SHPPs on other sites construction of 4 SHPPs.
Phase 1 will cover the revitalisation of 23 SHPPs.

WIND
PE EPS has in the past several years initiated the analysis of other renewable energy
sources in addition to small hydropower plants. To this end, wind potentials have also been
investigated. Investigations have so far been carried out on three sites, while the site at the
Kostolac Mining Basin has shown the highest profitability level. Once the investment and
technical documentation is finalised, the wind farm construction will be initiated.
