According to data of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, in 2013 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 16.302.55 GWh of electricity has been produced, out of which, 7.123.62 GWh or 43.7% has been produced in Hydro power plants.
The rest of the electricity has been produced in Thermal power plants, and 1.47% has been produced in small and industrial power plants (which includes other forms of renewable energy as well).
From the Center for education and raising awareness on the need of energy efficiency – Energis, it has been announced that it is clear from mentioned results that Bosnia and Herzegovina is among the top 10 countries in the world when it comes to the production of electricity from renewable resources, which is very positive for the country and its citizens.
However, they emphasize that BiH also has a potential for other forms of the renewable energy resources – wind energy, solar energy, and biomass.
They are reminding that, in the last few years, several solar power plants, biomass heating plant and one wind power plant were put into operation, and that several new projects for wind power plants are the preparatory phase.
