The construction of the Kostolac B3 block was completed in December 2024, marked by the signing of the plant takeover certificate between EPS and the contractor, China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC). This project was carried out under an interstate agreement between Serbia and China.
The entire project, including the new block and the expansion of the Drmno mine’s capacity, is valued at 715.6 million dollars.
The new lignite-fired unit has a capacity of 350 MW (with 308 MW connected to the grid) and is designed with modern supercritical steam technology for high efficiency. It is expected to operate around 7,500 hours annually.
