SARAJEVO, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Bosnia's 300-megawatt (MW) 
Ugljevik coal-fired power plant  RTEU.BJ  will be reconnected on 
the grid later on Monday after a prolonged regular overhaul, its 
spokesman said. 
    The plant had been taken offline in July for three months 
and was expected to return to the grid on Oct. 1 but additional 
works on the generator took longer than expected, Boban Markovic 
told Reuters.  L8N1IV27Q  
    Ugljevik and another 300 MW coal-fired plant at Gacko are 
operated by Bosnia's second-largest power utility, 
Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (ERS)  ERST.BJ . Earlier this 
month ERS sought bids to buy 37,440 megawatt-hours (MWh) of 
baseload power to meet demand in the first week October.
