Electricity production in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina declined in July despite a substantial reduction in electricity imports, while coal production continued to weaken.
Gross electricity output reached 508 GWh, down 4.7% from 533 GWh in July 2025.
Thermal power remained the dominant generation source, accounting for 60.6% of gross output. Hydropower provided 31.1%, while wind farms accounted for 8.3%.
Net electricity production reached 462 GWh, comprising 273 GWh from thermal plants, 147 GWh from hydropower and 42 GWh from wind.
Both electricity imports and exports declined sharply compared with last year.
Imports fell to just 68 GWh, less than half the 151 GWh recorded in July 2025. Exports dropped to 71 GWh from 135 GWh.
The data indicate a considerably smaller volume of cross-border trading by the Federation during the month even though domestic generation declined only moderately.
The underlying coal sector showed a much larger contraction.
Brown-coal production fell to 211,783 tonnes, down 29.6%, while lignite production dropped 19.4% year on year to 112,864 tonnes, from 140,092 tonnes.
The reduction in coal supply is significant because thermal generation continues to account for well over half of the Federation’s power production. Persistent mining weakness could therefore increase the operational importance of hydropower, wind generation and regional imports during periods of stronger electricity demand.
