Bosnia-Herzegovina energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  Bosnia and Herzegovina 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), Elektroprivreda RS (ERS) and Elektroprivreda HZ HB (EP HZ HB). The power companies are synchronised and interconnected but there is no competition among them; they are virtual monopolies within their exclusive service territories (no unbundling of distribution companies).

• Energy Supply

  Oil:

  The 4.2 Mt/year Bosanski Brod refinery, situated in the Republic of Srpska, is the country's only refinery. The refinery has been modernised to produce Euro-5 fuels and MTBE. However, only part of the capacity is operated (1.2 Mt/year). In 2018, oil refining volumes fell by 23% to 675 kt due to an emergency shutdown in October 2018.

• Energy Prices

  Oil:

  Motor fuel prices are following international trends, surging between 2000 and 2012 (+71% for gasoline and doubling for diesel), declining until 2016 (-7%/year for gasoline and -8%/year for diesel) and recovering since then (+7% for gasoline and +9%/year for diesel). They remain significantly lower than the EU average (-22% and -16%, respectively, in 2018).

• Energy Consumption

  The country's overall consumption per capita reaches 1.8 toe (37% below the EU average in 2018) with electricity accounting for 3 350 kWh (38% below the EU average).

  The country's total consumption increased rapidly between 2015 and 2017 (+5.5%/year) and remained stable in 2018 at 6.4 Mtoe. It increased very rapidly between 1995 and 2011 (+10%/year) and declined until 2015.

• Issues & Prospects

  Electricity:

  According to NOS BIH's plans, electricity consumption is expected to increase by around 1.6%/year between 2020 and 2029. Around 1.4 GW of power projects are expected before 2030, including 750 MW of coal and lignite-fired power plants, and 373 MW of CCGTs and 210 MW of hydropower.

In the Bosnia-Herzegovina energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina energy market data since 1990 and up to 2018 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Bosnia-Herzegovina country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Bosnia-Herzegovina Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Bosnia-Herzegovina energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
