TPP Nikola Tesla is a power plant complex operated by Elektroprivreda Srbije, located on the right bank of the river Sava, approximately 40 km upstream from Belgrade, near the town of Obrenovac. By far the largest one in Serbia, the complex generates around 16 TWh annually (see 1 E16 J), which covers almost half of Serbia's needs for electricity. The complex and two of its plants are named in honor of Nikola Tesla.
These power plants use lignite mined from the RB Kolubara as fuel. Coal is transported from the mines via a normal-gauge railroad about 30 km long capable of supplying a total of 37 million tons of coal a year.
Six generation units with a combined capacity of 1502 MW that makes it the largest power facility in the former Yugoslavia. TPP Nikola Tesla A was first synchronised on March 27, 1970. It has two chimneys: one with a height of 220 metres and a second with a height of 150 metres.
Located between the villages of Skela and Ušće. There are two generation units with a total capacity of 1160 MW. TPP Nikola Tesla B was first synchronised on March 11, 1983. Its chimney is 280 metres tall.
Located on the right bank of the river Velika Morava near the town of Svilajnac. 108 MW Power Generator.
Located at the edge of Kolubara coal basin in the village Veliki Crljeni. Capacity 245 MW.
TPP Nikola Tesla operates its own railway with over 100 km rail tracks total. The railway is used for coal transport from the mines to the power plants. It is independent from Serbian Railways.
