Plomin Power Station is a coal-fired power station near Plomin, Croatia. As of 2021, its production corresponded to 7.6% of Croatia's electricity needs.
The power plant consists of two boiler units: TE Plomin A, built in 1969 and shut down in 2018 and TE Plomin B, built in 2000. Both are operated by Hrvatska elektroprivreda, and the latter was co-owned with RWE Power AG. On 28 May 2015, the contract signed by the two parties in 1996 expired, thereby transferring the thermal power plant into 100 percent ownership of HEP. They generate a total of 199 megawatt. In 2021 their total output was 1,459.1 GWh.
In 2011, the reconstruction of the Plomin A Power Station was proposed for a more efficient and safer functioning. The capacity of the new station, named Plomin C, will be of 500 MW instead the 125 MW of the old one, a fact that created ambiguities as it was mostly viewed as a new project rather than a reconstruction of the Plomin A plant. As a result, the Plomin Power Station capacity will increase from 335 MW to 710 MW. The upper limit of 335 MW was planned to be the maximum to be allowed at Plomin plant, an increase in capacity being possible only using gas rather than coal. However, the Croatian government supported the project, viewing it as “rational and cost effective”.
Plomin Power Station has a 340 metres tall chimney, which is the tallest structure in Croatia.
