Climate Change: Bosnia and Herzegovina | Global 3000

  • 13 years ago
Hydroelectric power is Bosnia's biggest export and has been for decades. However many power plants and distribution networks were destroyed during the Bosnian War. Now the German development bank KfW is financing the restoration of the Rama and Trebinje hydroelectric plants.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only country in this region to produce more hydroelectric power than it consumes. Yet it also plans to harness the power of the wind. Bosnia is creating its first wind farm with the help of a 72 million euro loan from the KfW bank.
