Gross electricity production in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) reached 534 GWh in April 2026. That level was 9.4% lower year-on-year than 589 GWh recorded in April of the previous year. The figures point to a continued contraction in overall output, driven primarily by lower thermal fuel availability and reduced coal production activity across the system.
Generation mix: hydro, thermal and wind shares
Hydropower plants accounted for 44% of total gross electricity generation in April, while thermal power plants contributed 44.2%. Wind farms made up 11.8% of the mix. The distribution shows hydro and thermal generation operating side by side, with wind representing a smaller but growing component.
Net electricity production totaled 500 GWh during the month. Hydropower plants generated 231 GWh, thermal power plants produced 206 GWh, and wind farms delivered 63 GWh. Hydropower remained the largest net source, slightly ahead of thermal generation.
Cross-border power flows change in April
Electricity trade flows shifted during the same period. Imports were 86 GWh, down from 105 GWh in April of the previous year. Exports fell to 71 GWh, compared with 202 GWh in the same month last year.
The decline in exports indicates reduced activity on external sales compared with the prior year’s month. Imports decreased as well, reflecting a lower overall level of cross-border inflows versus April 2025.
Coal and coke production trends affecting supply
Brow n coal production totaled 228,343 tons, representing a 20.6% decrease compared with 287,615 tons in 2024. Lignite output also declined, reaching 88,297 tons in April 2026 versus 124,116 tons in April 2025, a drop of 28.9%. These reductions align with lower fuel availability affecting thermal generation.
Coke production fell to zero in April 2026 after the permanent closure of the Lukavac coke plant. This change removed coke output from the industrial fuel chain within the Federation’s energy and industrial system.
