Trebinje II Hydroelectric Power Plant Bosnia and Herzegovina

Trebinje II Hydroelectric Power Plant Bosnia and Herzegovina is a 8 MW hydro power plant in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 8.0k homes (estimated). It ranks #34 of 34 Bosnia and Herzegovina power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, hydro supplies about 36.6% 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 8 MW, Trebinje II Hydroelectric Power Plant Bosnia and Herzegovina is below the median hydro plant in Bosnia and Herzegovina (114 MW). Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.

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

Local climate & thermal context

This hydro plant converts the energy of falling or flowing water through hydro turbines. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 42.7°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 5% 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.

Site climate & environmental severity

This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), 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.
