Stanari Thermal Power Plant — Bosnia and Herzegovina

Stanari Thermal Power Plant is a 300 MW coal power station in Doboj, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is operated by EFT Rudnik i Termoelektrana Stanari doo [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 375k homes (estimated). It ranks #15 of 34 Bosnia and Herzegovina power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2016, it is around 10 years old — relatively modern. 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).

In context: how this plant compares

At 300 MW, Stanari Thermal Power Plant is below the median coal plant in Bosnia and Herzegovina (430 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. 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.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

Climate zone & how it works

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 44.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).

Site climate & environmental severity

This site sits in a mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.

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.
