Due to ongoing snowfall and increased snowdrifts, electricity supply remains disrupted in areas served by Elektroprivreda BiH, with approximately 47,000 customers still without power. Failures on 35 kV, 20 kV, and 10 kV transmission lines, caused by heavy wet snow and fallen trees, have also affected low-voltage networks.

Repair efforts


Elektroprivreda BiH crews are working intensively to restore power but face challenges due to difficult terrain and limited access.

“Considering the forecast of continued snowfall, which could affect the stability of electricity supply, we ask customers for patience and understanding,” stated Elektroprivreda BiH.
