Bosnia’s Solar Power Surge

Bosnia's untapped solar potential could see over 100 MW of new capacity by year’s end, but grid access remains a major barrier

Bosnia and Herzegovina is sitting on a vast, underutilized solar energy resource, with around 400 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity currently harnessed. But, according to Edhem Bičakčić, President of the Southeast European Regional Council, the country’s solar future hinges on overcoming significant challenges.

Bosnia boasts over 1,400 hours of sunshine annually in some regions, exceeding Germany’s solar yield by 20%. Yet, bureaucracy, limited incentives for households, and grid connectivity issues slow progress.

Despite over 3,000 MW in potential investments waiting on the sidelines, only 400 MW has been realised.

The lack of government support and outdated regulations hinder household projects, though commercial ventures are booming.

Bičakčić anticipates 100 MW of new solar capacity by 2025, but until grid constraints are addressed, these projects may struggle to achieve their full potential.

As Bosnia eyes its solar future, the path to renewable success remains tangled in red tape.
