Višegrad hydropower generation drops in July 2026 to 30.27 GWh

Supported byClarion Energy

Višegrad generated 30.27 GWh of electricity in July 2026, a fall of 31.2% from 44.02 GWh produced in June. The July figure remained above the 25.11 GWh recorded in July 2025. The month-on-month change points to variability in hydro output across the period.

Monthly and annual generation figures

Cumulative production at the plant reached 657.78 GWh in 2026. For comparison, Višegrad produced 781.8 GWh in 2025, up from 733 GWh in 2024. The plant’s average annual output is around 1,010 GWh.

Plant capacity and operating profile

The facility is operated by Hidroelektrane na Drini. Installed capacity totals 315 MW, made up of three 105 MW units. The plant entered operation in 1989.

Historical peak generation

The strongest year for the site remains 2010, when generation reached a record 1,283.05 GWh. This level represents the highest annual output among the figures cited for the plant’s performance history.

Implications for regional power market dispatch

The July decline is relevant for the western Balkan power market where hydro availability influences cross-border flows, thermal dispatch and wholesale prices. These effects are referenced for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro.
