This Programme's aim was to prepare activities and future investments in the transmission network to follow the needs of energy transfers inside the country and towards neighbouring countries, and the distribution network to follow consumption, increase efficiency and improve the security of supply.
WBIF has provided technical assistance support to the Montenegrin electricity operators in identifying and prioritising individual transmission and distribution projects. Altogether, 22 priority investments were identified and organised into four overall projects to improve the reliability and efficiency of the system.
The technical assistance also comprised a feasibility study for the line between Lastva and Pljevlja, including technical design, environmental and social assessments, and economic and financial analysis.
Construction of the 400kV line Lastva-Pljevlja will close the loop within the Montenegrin transmission system and make the entire network more reliable, stronger and capable to support future developments of electricity generation, new industrial plants and new tourist facilities. At the same time, it will reduce the sensitivity of the Montenegrin power sector to supply interruption.
