  • The power sector unbundling process has been delayed.
  • Lignite supplied 2/3 of the power mix in 2022.
  • The country is a net power exporter, with a level linked to hydropower generation.
  • Oil and gas prices are following the surge in international prices but the rise in electricity prices remains contained.
  • The energy mix is dominated by lignite (52% in 2022).

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is a Balkan country that became independent from Yugoslavia in 1992. Since the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995, the country has been split in two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and the Republic of Srpska (RS); in addition, the district of Brčko has a special status.

  • Energy Companies

    Electricity:

    The power sector consists of three vertically integrated public monopolies (90% public): Elektroprivreda BiH (EP BIH) (Sarajevo area), Elektroprivreda RS (ERS), and Elektroprivreda HZ HB (EP HZ HB) (Mostar area).

  • Energy Supply

    Oil:

    The 4.2 Mt/year Bosanski Brod refinery, situated in the Republic of Srpska, has been modernised to produce Euro-5 fuels and MTBE. In 2018, oil refining volumes fell by 23% to 675 kt due to an emergency shutdown in October.

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    Gas prices are regulated. After a slight decrease in 2021 (-2% for industry and -4% for households), gas prices rebounded in 2022 (+13% for industry and +80% for households). Despite this surge, gas prices remain more than 50% lower than the EU average (2022).

  • Energy Consumption

    The country's overall consumption per capita reaches 2.1 toe (21% below the EU average in 2022) with an average electricity consumption per capita of 3 400 kWh (35% below the EU average). Energy intensity is twice as high as the EU average and declining at a slower pace (-2%/year over 2010-2022 compared to -2.8%/year in the EU).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    According to NOS BIH's plans, electricity consumption is expected to increase by 0.94%/year between 2023 and 2033. By 2033, the TSO plans to connect 464 MW of thermal power plants, 1.7 GW of hydropower plants, 2.1 GW of wind parks and 1.1 GW of solar parks. In addition, NOS BIH expects 250 MW of virtual power plants to be operational at the end of 2023.
