Glava Zete Hydroelectric Plant

The Glava Zete Hydroelectric Power Plant is a significant energy production facility in Montenegro, located on the middle course of the Zeta River. It was commissioned in 1955 as part of the broader Perućica hydropower system, representing a key milestone in the country's post-war industrial development. The facility utilizes the river's elevation drop between the Nikšić Field and the Bjelopavlići Valley to generate electricity. Technically, Glava Zete is designed as a run-of-river plant featuring an underground powerhouse to optimally exploit the natural topography. With an installed capacity of 4.3 megawatts, it contributes to the stability of the local power grid and supplies electricity to nearby industrial operations. In recent years, modernization efforts have been undertaken to increase turbine efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Its location on the Zeta River also makes the plant a point of ecological interest, as maintaining water quality is a top priority. Glava Zete remains a symbol of renewable energy utilization and Montenegro's engineering innovation in the field of hydroelectric power.
