Bosnia’s FBiH posts higher electricity generation in February 2026 as coal-based output falls

Electricity supply conditions in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) improved in February 2026, with gross electricity production climbing sharply despite weaker performance from the coal-based industrial stream. The combination of higher power generation and contracting fossil-fuel output points to shifting operating patterns inside the federation’s energy system.

Gross production reached 774 GWh in February 2026—an increase of 25.4% compared with 617 GWh recorded in February of the previous year (Gross electricity production). On a net basis, electricity production totaled 740 GWh.

Hydropower remains the backbone, wind adds a smaller layer

The generation mix continued to be shaped primarily by water resources. In total gross production, hydropower plants contributed 57.6%, thermal power plants accounted for 35%, and wind farms made up the remaining 7.4%. The net breakdown mirrored this pattern: hydropower delivered 443 GWh, thermal sources generated 240 GWh, and wind provided 57 GWh.

Lighter import needs offset steadier export levels

The external balance also shifted modestly. Electricity imports totaled 147 GWh in February 2026, down from 191 GWh in the same month a year earlier—suggesting reduced reliance on cross-border supply. Exports were comparatively stable at 83 GWh, slightly below the 87 GWh figure from February of the prior year.

Coal segment contracts as power output rises

The fuel side of the picture showed clear contraction across key categories. Brown coal production fell to 257,695 tons, an 18.7% decline. Lignite output dropped to 96,384 tons, down from 111,261 tons year on year—an additional 13.4% fall. Coke production declined even more steeply: it fell to 17,861 tons, from 29,046 tons in February 2025, representing a 38.5% reduction.

Taken together, the reported figures indicate that while overall electricity generation expanded strongly in February 2026, activity in the broader coal-based segment weakened markedly.

This divergence between rising power volumes and declining fossil-related outputs suggests gradual changes in both operational demand and the federation’s underlying energy structure during the period.
