SARAJEVO, May 2 (Reuters) - Bosnia's 300 megawatt (MW) 
coal-fired Gacko power plant  RITE.BJ  has been reconnected to 
the grid after annual maintenance, the plant's production 
manager said on Tuesday. 
    The maintenance was completed 10 days ahead of schedule and 
the plant was reconnected to the grid late on Monday, Borivoje 
Vujicic told Reuters. 
    The Gacko and Ugljevik coal-fired power plants are run by 
Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske  ERST.BJ , Bosnia's 
second-largest power utility. Bosnia produces 40 percent of its 
energy from hydropower and the remainder from ageing coal-fired 
plants.
