Hydropower in Bosnia-Herzegovina
October 25, 2011Advertisement
Project size: 2 hydropower plants and 22 wind turbines
Cost: 95 million euros ($131.8 million)
Project goal: generate clean power across the country and increase energy exports
Energy generated from hydropower has been Bosnia's biggest export for decades. During the Bosnian war, many important power plants and energy grids were destroyed, and restoring them costs millions of euros. Germany's government-owned development bank KfW is financing repairs at two major hydropower plants, and more are on the way. Clean energy is on the rise in Bosnia, and investment in renewable energy sources is growing. The country's first ever wind farm is now in the planning.
