In certain parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the energy turnaround has already started, but for a systemic solution, state-level policy support and support is needed.
This was concluded last week on the Sixth Energy Council in B&H, held on the topic “Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Sources in Practice, the Way to Energy Turnaround”. This event in Neum has gathered more than 160 participants from B&H and the region, in order to exchange information related to current so as upcoming projects.
In the panel “Financing Mechanisms of EE and OI Projects” where the BEEP representative also participated, it has been emphasized that energy efficiency projects in B&H have so far been largely financed by foreign organizations, which is primarily concerned with the renovation of public health and education facilities. The real example of using foreign investment in energy efficiency in Bosnia and Herzegovina is BEEP project, whose goal is to create sustainable energy efficiency financing mechanisms in B&H.
Thanks to this project, in 2016, conditions for reducing energy costs were created in public facilities, as well as the conditions for more enjoyable and quality work and stay of users in 18 public buildings of the Federation B&H. This year, 13 public buildings are being implemented and the implementation of the first solar panels on individual facilities is expected.
