摘要：This Case Study considers generation capacity expansion planning in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) including a range of issues related to renewable, energy efficiency, local emission and carbon reduction commitment policies. In addition, our analysis considers an outlook of wholesale electricity prices in the region. We have also compared our findings with the country's current official plan (“Indicative Plan”), which includes development of as many as four additional lignite-based plants. Our findings suggest that BiH, as a low-cost producer in the region, has significant opportunities to modernize and expand its current generation system with nearly €3 billion in new investments. This investment level is much lower than the €5 billion investment program promulgated in the Indicative Plan. These differences primarily have to do with the treatment of lignite plants. Since the end of the war roughly twenty years ago, the country has progressed quickly. Aspirations to join the EU compose a significant part of the authorizing environment for the power sector.
