 Implementation Report Dec 2008 - Renewables
|
Since July 2007, when the Plans on implementation of the Directive 2001/77/EC and the Directive 2003/30/EC have been adopted by the Ministerial Council, there have been very few steps of the realization of the Plans. No public institution has been assigned yet to be responsible for renewable energy sources in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Since July 2007, respectively the adoption of the Plans on implementation of the Directive 2001/77/EC and the Directive 2003/30/EC, very few steps on the realization of the plans have been undertaken up to now. The recent initiation by the Spanish Embassy of the technical assistance, on solving some institutional issues related to renewables - to be followed by the determination of the indicative targets and the development of the strategy regarding RES - is a crucial step forward but not sufficient to meet the commitments of the plans in due time.

The only support mechanism existing up to date is based on two laws at entity levels that set the minimum electricity purchase price to be paid to RES producers with an installed capacity up to 5 MW in small hydro power plants, biomass, wind, geothermal, solar PV.
Recent progress includes initiation of technical assistance provided by the Spanish Government in order to solve some institutional and legislative barriers related to promotion of renewables. The consultancy will include proposal on the national indicative targets to be set and development of the strategy regarding RES. Support mechanism

In 2007, according to UCTE statistics, 36% of total electricity consumption has been produced in hydropower plants and represent the mainly source to cover peak demand and providing exports.
RES potential in Bosnia and Herzegovina include unexploited hydro resources to be developed in large and small hydro power plants with a total of 24.5 TWh. Moreover the existing large or small hydro power plants need rehabilitation to increase production and to reduce the losses.
Two large power plant projects are proposed for investments: HPP Glavaticevo (3x9.5 MW /172 MW) on Neretva River based on DBOT financing scheme and HPP Buk Bijela on the Drina River (up to 450 MW). Environmental impact assessment is an important milestone in financing and development these projects. Hydropower generation and potential

Biomass potential is considered significant followed by wind, solar and geothermal. In order to promote the development of these resources it is necessary to overcome the lack of comprehensive assessment and underdeveloped legislative and regulatory framework . Other resources
