• Object location: the Neretva river, Herzegovina-Neretva Canton (15 km upstream from Mostar)
• Object type: dam toe powerhouse type with a 70 m high gravity dam 
• Installed capacity: 208.50 MW (3 x 69.5 MW) 
• Maximum net head: 45.0 m
• Type of turbines: Kaplan
• Average annual generation based on 70% probability of occurrence of inflow from the current hydrological time series (1989-2018):  356.6 GWh 

HPP "Salakovac" is connected to the electric power system with 220 kV transmission lines: "HPP Salakovac - Kakanj" and "HPP Salakovac – Mostar 3". The total reservoir volume of HPP "Salakovac" is 68.1 hm3, and it was created by the construction of a concrete dam 70 meters high.
