Similar to all other former member states of the Yugoslav Federation, Bosnia/Herzegovina has initiated programs of economic and energy reform and has also announced policies encouraging energy conservation and alternative sources of energy, particularly renewables.  However, due to the conflict within the country in the early to mid-1990s much of the energy infrastructure has been destroyed and remains heavily damaged.  Therefore, there is more focus on the rehabilitation and repair of existing energy infrastructure rather than the development of new renewable energy projects.

As a result of the recent ethnic war it was difficult to secure complete and up to date information.  Over 60 percent of existing energy capacity in Bosnia/Herzegovina utilizes hydro facilities and a large portion of it has been damaged.   This implies numerous opportunities to rehabilitate and develop both small and large hydro projects in Bosnia/Herzegovina.  There is limited data available on solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal technologies to assess their overall potential.

Renewable Energy Ventures d.o.o., a Serbian unit of Vancouver-based Reservoir Capital Corp. (REO), plans to build several hydro plants in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in Croatia, along with its current projects in Serbia.

The energy developer plans three hydro plants on the Cehotina river in Bosnia-Herzegovina for a combined 17.5 megawatt capacity at an estimated cost of 40 million euros ($59.6 million), Deputy Director Milan Cusic said. The projects in Croatia will involve both hydro and geothermal sources and can be executed along with REV’s original, 140 million-euro project for two hydro plants of 58 megawatts on the Lim river in southwestern Serbia.
