The Hydroelectric Power Plant MOSTAR was put into operation in 1987 as one of a series of hydroelectric power plants that belong to the system of hydroelectric power plants in the Neretva catchment area, as the last power plant on the Neretva River. In the planned Middle Neretva Project from 1953, HPP Mostar, along with HPP Grabovica and HPP Salakovac, is part of a complex project of three dam power plants, each of which has a different energy role, and HPP Mostar is expected to play a role in regulating more uniform operation and leveling the operation of upstream hydroelectric power plants. Since the commissioning of the first unit back in 1987, HPP Mostar operated for only five years until the war in 1992, when it suffered significant damage. All facilities were out of order, the engine room was completely submerged, and the rest of the equipment was destroyed, so it was completely under water for three years. Thanks to the priority of the Power Generation employees, it was reconstructed and repaired in just 7 months. Today, HPP Mostar has a high level of operational readiness for service.
