Activities about construction of the TPP Stanari (300 MW capacity installed) are currently in the last phase of the construction. This power plant should be designed in accordance with the best available technology and fulfil environmental standards of the European Union.

To be sure about feasibility of optimum technical integration of the proposed unit(s) into the 400kV transmission system, there is a need to check that the transmission network in B&H will accommodate connection of such plant in 400 kV voltage level. Consequently, a feasibility Study of connection of the TPP Stanari to the B&H transmission network was performed. The study answered and gave the evidence, using a model calculation, under which conditions were possible to install, operate with, and connect the TPP to the network in Stanari site.

The aim of the study is to thoroughly examine the possibility of constructing the TPP Stanari, which is to be connected to the transmission network of B&H, considering the state of 400, 220 and 110 kV network in future period till 2015 and to provide the best possible solution for its connection.

In addition, the assessment of the transmission network load in 2019 was performed when the commissioning of block 7 TPP Tuzla is expected, which will have an important influence on the transmission network in the region of interest.

The objective of the study was to verify that the transmission network of B&H will not be jeopardised, or to propose the solution for secure, reliable and qualitative delivery of electric power energy from the TPP Stanari to the EPS B&H.
