In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there was a complete collapse of the electric power system.
The Independent System Operator in Bosnia and Herzegovina NOS is responsible for the transmission of electricity in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Klix.ba was told by Elektroprivreda BiH that the reason for the interruption of the electricity supply was an outage on the transmission lines in the region and the transmission of disturbances to the BiH system.
Activities are underway to establish the system, to transmit voltage to hydropower plants and thermal power plants, and to coordinate activities with ISO BiH on the inclusion of high-voltage network facilities in BiH and their connection to neighboring systems.
As HINA reports from the Croatian transmission system operator, everything started from Montenegro, then the power outage affected Bosnia and Herzegovina, and then Croatia. Such an interruption has never happened before through these three states.
Dispatchers between states are currently communicating to come up with a recovery plan because no state can be isolated in terms of power supply because they are all connected by transmission lines.
It is not clear what the exact cause is, but it is assumed that due to high temperatures, consumption jumped and the system collapsed.
“We still don’t know the cause, but the entire power system went out. We are doing everything to keep the facilities at the Tuzla Thermal Power Plant safe,” Fuad Muminović, director of the Tuzla Thermal Power Plant, told Klix.ba.
At 12:35 p.m., there was a complete interruption of the electricity supply in the entire state, Klix.ba writes.
