Bosnia and Herzegovina has shown interest in increasing its use of renewable energy sources to diversify its energy mix and reduce dependence on conventional energy sources. The country has
Coal-fired and hydroelectric plants contribute almost all of the electricity generated and BiH currently exports power. It has sufficient lignite reserves to justify investing in modernizing its
Bosnia and Herzegovina is investing €700 million to upgrade its power grid and will need 225MW of energy storage to support the integration of 2.5GW of wind and solar power by 2030.
As Bosnia targets 55% renewable energy by 2035, storage systems like Banja Luka''s will become the grid''s backbone. The project serves as both technical solution and economic catalyst – proving that
Hydropower remained the dominant source of renewable electricity, accounting for 89.5% of the total renewable generation in May at 952 GWh, according to the Bosnian Agency for Statistics.
This project aims to implement a battery energy storage system (BESS) for EPBIH, aimed at enhancing the decarbonisation of the energy sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The three government-owned electric power generation and distribution companies are: Elektroprivreda BiH (EPBiH), Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (ERS), and Elektroprivreda Hrvatske
Energy production in Bosnia and Herzegovina is carried out using primary energy from solid fuels, wood biomass, hydropower, as well as other forms of RES (solar and wind energy).
The Vertiv(TM) DynaFlex BESS uses UL9540A lithium-ion batteries to provide utility-scale energy storage for mission-critical businesses that can be used as an always-on power supply.
