Bosnia and Herzegovina has great renewable energy potential. Currently, only 40% of Bosnia and Herzegovina's economically and environmentally feasible hydropower potential has been developed.
This project aims to increase the production of energy from renewable resources by constructing a hydropower plant (HPP) at Babino Selo. The new plant is expected to produce 58.9 GWh/year and thus contribute to the replacement of older and less efficient thermal facilities. The WBIF has allocated a €750,000 grant for the preparation of the feasibility study and the associated designs and environmental impact assessment. The study was completed in June 2016.
