It has been specified that the power of TE Stanari is 300 MWh and the expected annual production two million MWh in base mode. The produced electricity is intended for export to the European markets because BiH disposes with a surplus of electricity and also because of more attractive prices.

Total value of investment in the Mine and TE Stanari amounts to 550 million EUR, of which 420 million EUR were invested in the TE only. The investment was financed by the funds of the EFT Group amounting to 30 percent of total investment, while the loan from the Chinese Development Bank and several commercial banks covered the rest.
