Coal power plant in Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Approximate location 43.333, 17.8.
CoalHerzegovina-Neretva CantonBosnia and Herzegovina
Glinica power station is a 500 MW coal power station in Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is operated by Elektroprivreda HZHB Mostar dd [50%]; Aluminij Industries doo [50%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 626k homes (estimated). It ranks #6 of 34 Bosnia and Herzegovina power plants by installed capacity. In context, coal supplies about 55.4% of Bosnia and Herzegovina's electricity; the national grid averages 571 gCO₂/kWh (43.6% low-carbon) (2025).

At 500 MW, Glinica power station is well above the median coal plant in Bosnia and Herzegovina (430 MW). Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 43.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 6% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 48/100 — this site sits in the mid third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
For a plant’s outdoor hardware — heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG), expansion joints, valves, flanges and their insulation — the local climate sets how fast unprotected steel and coatings degrade. This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
Higher environmental severity is exactly where protective removable insulation pays back most: a sheltered micro-climate slows corrosion, UV and thermal-cycling damage and extends outdoor hardware service life. This is an indicative site-climate context — not a condition assessment of any specific plant or operator.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
