The energy sector in Montenegro
Page | October 1, 2014
With around 650 000 inhabitants, Montenegro’s electricity needs are currently satisfied by just one 210 MW coal power plant at Pljevlja (around one third of electricity), and hydropower plants (the remaining two thirds). Hydropower comes mainly from the 307 MW Perucica and 342 MW Piva plants, with the remainder from other much smaller hydro facilities. New forms of renewable energy are hardly used at all in the country, despite significant potential in some regions.
