EP BiH Aims for Stability: Increased Coal Production, Cost Reductions, Tariff Procedure Initiation
04 Mar 2024
Amidst
prevailing challenges, Elektroprivreda BiH (EP BiH) is embarking on a strategic
overhaul to ensure the sustainability of electricity supply in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. In a recent statement, Sanel Buljubašić, Acting Director General
of EP BiH, outlined the primary strategies to be adopted for securing the
entity's future, including ramping up coal production, minimizing non-essential
expenses, and beginning the process for a public supply tariff procedure.
Strategic Enhancements in Coal Production and Delivery
At the heart of
EP BiH's strategy lies a significant increase in coal production and delivery.
Buljubašić emphasized the critical role that coal plays in maintaining
electricity stability and the necessity of enhancing output from EP BiH's
associated mines. This move not only aims to strengthen the internal supply
chain but also to mitigate any external reliance that could jeopardize the
electricity grid's reliability.
Cost-Effective
Operations: A Road to Financial Stability
In addition to boosting production, EP BiH is taking decisive steps to trim
down costs that do not directly contribute to the production or maintenance
systems. This approach is part of a broader effort to realign the company's
financial strategy, focusing on efficiency and sustainability. By identifying
and eliminating non-essential expenses, EP BiH aims to reallocate resources
more effectively, enhancing the overall financial health of the enterprise.
Initiating the Tariff
Procedure for Public Supply
The initiation
of the tariff procedure for public supply signifies EP BiH's commitment to
transparency and regulatory compliance. This process is expected to lay down
the groundwork for more stable and predictable electricity pricing, benefiting
consumers and stakeholders alike. Buljubašić's announcement of this move
reflects the company's proactive stance in addressing the challenges of energy
provision and its dedication to upholding the highest standards of service.
