The Grančarevo Dam is an arch dam on the Trebišnjica River near Gornje Grančarevo in the municipality of Trebinje in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At 123 m (404 ft) in height, it is the tallest dam in the country. Its reservoir, Bileća Lake, is the largest by volume in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well. The dam provides for flood control and hydroelectric power generation. The dam was completed in 1967 and its 180 MW power station, Trebinje-1 (Čapljina) Hydroelectric Power Station, was commissioned in 1968. A smaller 8 MW power station, Treblinje-2, was completed downstream in 1979.
