Ako će cijena izgradnje biti 321 milion eura, ako će Crna Gora odložiti plaćanje ugljen-dioksida do 2026. godine, ako će cijena struje značajno rasti, ako će cijene CO2 rasti sporije nego očekivano, ako će se troškovi proizvodnje uglja smanjiti na 17,5 eura po toni u sledećih 10 godina i ako se ne plaća PDV na opremu i izgradnju, onda će Pljevlja 2 možda biti isplativ, kazala ja predstavnica CEE Bankwatch Network Pipa Galop

Pljevlja II isplativ samo uz kreativno računovodstvo

Da bi Pljevlja II imala šansu da bude isplativa, NVO navode da bi troškovi proizvodnje u Rudniku uglja Pljevlja bi morali biti smanjeni od 24,21 eura/tona u 2015. godini na 17,5 eura/tona oko 2027.

Dokument koji je Vlada Crne Gore objavila u ime “dokazivanja” isplativosti projekta Pljevlja II zapravo pokazuje suprotno, prema komentarima nevladinih organizacija CEE Bankwatch Network, MANS i Green Home, koji su objavljeni danas i dostavljeni Evropskoj komisiji i drugim relevantnim adresama.

Oni su dodali da će druga faza tokom izgradnje značajno povećati zaposlenost

Deloitte je, u okviru Studije izvodljivosti uzeo u obzir i prezentovao moguće scenarije izgradnje drugog bloka Termoelektrane (TE) Pljevlja, uključujući i konzervativniji pristup i najnepovoljnije varijante, saopšteno je iz Ministarstva ekonomije.

„Sve tri varijante pokazuju da je projekat isplativ“, navodi se u reagovanju Ministarstva na saopštenje predstavnika CEE Bankwatch Network, Mreže za afirmaciju nevladinog sektora (MANS) i Green Home-a.

NVO: Smanjiti troškove proizvodnje

July 25, 2016

Troškovi proizvodnje u Rudniku uglja morali bi da budu smanjeni, kako bi projekat gradnje drugog bloka Termoelektrane (TE) Pljevlja imao šansu da bude isplativ, ocijenili su predstavnici nevladinih organizacija.

Kako se navodi u saopštenju CEE Bankwatch Network, Mreže za afirmaciju nevladinog sektora (MANS) i Green Home-a, troškovi proizvodnje bi trebalo da budu smanjeni sa prošlogodišnjih 24,21 eura po toni na 17,5 eura po toni oko 2027. godine, a da nije uopšte sigurno da li će takvo smanjenje stvarno biti realizovano.

Where will all that power go? New study assesses extravagant energy ambitions in the western Balkans

Bankwatch Mail | May 14, 2015

Western Balkan countries have ambitious plans to increase their electricity generation over the next years. But what will happen if they all become a regional energy hub? Will there be a demand for all the available electricity?

Stranded assets in the Western Balkans - report on the long-term economic viability of new export capacities

Study | March 19, 2015

Country chapters available for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia.

For other languages, see here.

Analysing the estimated energy demand and production capacities in Western Balkan countries, this study shows that if countries realise their planned capacity expansions, the region will have a 56 per cent electricity surplus in 2024, led by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Nearly all governments in the region aspire to become electricity exporters, but the study argues that if governments fail to take into account the regional perspective, they could end up with power plants becoming simply uneconomic to operate.

Energy Community countries so rich they can afford to eschew climate action?

Planned new coal capacities will result in high additional costs for Energy Community countries. Transforming their energy sectors into efficient, sustainable renewables-based systems is not only possible but a cost-effective way forward.
