Bosnia and Herzegovina

After the end of the war in Bosnia, the country's electricity supply was in a desolate state. A large part of the power stations and distribution networks could no longer be operated. Today the electricity supply in Bosnia-Herzegovina is functioning again - also thanks to KfW’s support. To make better use of the great potential of renewable energies, KfW is promoting the construction and reconstruction of hydroelectric power stations and financing the country's first wind farms. At the same time the low level of energy efficiency of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian economy is to be improved. By placing the focus on the energy sector it is not only intended to contribute to climate and environmental protection by avoiding the emission of greenhouse gases and pollutants. A sustainable, cost-effective and reliable energy supply also serves the development of the Bosnian economy. Furthermore, electricity exports reduce the country's structural current account balance. In addition, the promotion of the energy sector supports Bosnia and Herzegovina on its path towards EU rapprochement, particularly in meeting the EU directives on renewable energies and energy efficiency.
