BiH and its untapped RES potential

Renewable energy in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) remains largely unexploited, but it's not for lack of potential, experts say.

The country suffers from a lack of clear state-level legislation, and in fact no government ministry has been specifically put in charge of the issue. Other obstacles include a lack of field experts, obsolete technology, and the monopoly enjoyed by the three major electro-energy companies in BiH.

Mubera Bicakcic, who heads the energy department at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations, said a study is under way that will yield recommendations for a state-level law, setting criteria and guidelines. However, Bicakcic added, "it is hard to know when our politicians will adopt this kind of law."
