In addition to the primary product – electricity, TPP “Kakanj” produces and delivers thermal energy for district heating of city Kakanj and additionally supplies slag and ash to the cement factory “Kakanj”. With a total installed capacity of 450 MW an average annual production is 2,300 GWh, with an annual coal consumption of 1.8 million tons.
