Electricity Corridor in Western Balkans

Development of the Trans-Balkan Electricity Corridor for the creation of a regional power network connecting the electricity transmission systems of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia with those of Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Italy.

When completed, the Trans-Balkan Electricity Corridor will significantly strengthen the critical northeast-southwest, east-west regional and pan-European corridors which are some of the most congested transmission corridors in the Southeast Europe region. In Western Serbia (Obrenovac – Bajina Bašta) a 109 km long double circuit 400 kilovolts electricity line is currently built, and a new 84 km long section connecting Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina is being prepared. The Trans-Balkan Electricity Corridor is a Team Europe initiative supported by Germany and Italy and the projects benefit from KfW loans of up to USD 76 million (EUR 70 million).
