Pljevlja Power Station is a coal-fired power station in Pljevlja, Montenegro. The plant went into service in 1982 and is the only coal-fired power station in Montenegro. The plant has a generation capacity of 225 MW and produces a third of the country's electricity. The chimney of the power plant is 250 meters tall.
The majority of fuel is supplied from two surface mines operated by Rudnik uglja ad Pljevlja. The older mine is Potrlica, where mining began in 1952. A newer mine, Sumani I, supplies lesser-quality lignite coal.
Water for cooling of the power plant is supplied from accumulation of Otilovići situated on river Ćehotini 8 kilometres (5.0 mi), connected to the power plant by asphalt road.
