BANJA LUKA, Bosnia, Oct 3 (Reuters) - The restart of 
Bosnia's 300-megawatt (MW) Ugljevik coal-fired power plant 
 RTEU.BJ  after a three-month regular overhaul will be delayed 
for a week due to technical issues, its operator said on 
Tuesday. 
    The plant has been offline since July and was expected to 
return to the grid on Oct. 1 but additional work on the 
generator is expected to be completed within a week time, the 
operator said in a statement to 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 . 
    Last week ERS sought bids to buy 37,440 megawatt-hours (MWh) 
of baseload power to meet demand in the first week October.
