2. Understanding Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Complex administrative structure
• Reflection to the energy and environment sector
• Low RES utilization (high potential for biomass, hydro, wind and solar); high energy conservation
potential (a strategic approach to EE is missing)
• Challenges for BiH to fulfill its obligations (multilateral agreements – UNFCCC, En Comm
Treaty...)
• Laws, by-laws, regulations, mechanisms...
(intangible)!
• Infrastructure projects
(tangible)!

4. „PILOT PROJECTS“ 2010 - 2013
•A total of 38 replicable EE/RES pilot projects in public sector implemented
•2.9m € total value of EE/RES investments
•Government share – 1.4m €
•Annual public budget savings – 500.000 €/a
•Average return on investment – 5.8 years
•Annual CO2 reduction – 2,200 t/CO2 a
•A total of 664 man/months of employment achieved by implementation of EE/RES measures that
created €350,000 worth in salaries

5. „INSTITUTIONALIZATION of ENERGY MANAGEMENT“ in 2013
•Initiation of GED project – GREEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Project goals:
1.to institutionalize energy management - to develop and achieve a reliable and sustainable
energy monitoring and reporting system
2.to create a systematic approach to energy mngt and EE/RES investment decision making
3.to enable preconditions for launching public works / generate employment
THE KEY – creating an favorable environment
for investments in energy efficiency/RES in public sector buildings!

6. APPROACH

7. „INSTITUTIONALIZATION of ENERGY MANAGEMENT“ in 2013
Cooperation with our Partners:
•State Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations (MoFTER)
•Ministry of Spatial Planning, Civil Engineering and Ecology of Republic of Srpska
•Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund of RS
•Ministry of Education and Culture of RS
•Ministry of Spatial Planning of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH)
•Environmental Protection Fund of FBiH
•Unsko – Sanski Canton, Tuzlanski Canton

8. „INSTITUTIONALIZATION of ENERGY MANAGEMENT“ in 2013
•
Development of a systematic approach to energy mngt and EE investment decision making of
Environmental Fund of FBiH
Three RES/fuel
switch projects
(fossil to biomass)

9. „INSTITUTIONALIZATION of ENERGY MANAGEMENT“ in 2013
•
Systematic approach to energy mngt and EE investment decision making
applications received
1st shortlisting & EMIS
2st shortlisting & detailed energy audits
decision made to invest into four projects
(two have been planned!)

10. „INSTITUTIONALIZATION of ENERGY MANAGEMENT“ 2014 - 2018
Project partners:
•Environmental Fund of FBiH (EE related project cooperation from mid-2013)
•Environmental and Energy Efficiecny Fund of RS (EE related project cooperation expected in mid2014)
Activities:
•Coopeation on five-year Programme on EE/RES in both Entities (FBiH & RS)
•Programme “Capacity building and cost reduction in public sector buildings in FBIH/RS through
increased energy efficiency, energy management and reduction of emissions“

11. Five Programme Components

12. Compatible / aligning activities

13. Compatible / aligning activities
• CC Adap & LEDS of BiH – First official BiH state level adopted document on energy/environment
• Provides the basis for EE/RES public sector building projects
(incl. district heating, electricity generation and transport)
• Provides the basis for potenatial NAMAs projects
• NAMA body in BiH (to be established)!
• MRV and Biomass agreement templates – GEF 4 project

14. UNDP CO BiH - CORELATION OVERVIEW OF PAST AND PRESENT ACTIVITES
• Goal to create a self-sustainable energy mngt system by combining the tangible (infrastructure
project) and intangible (processes, mechanisms, regulations)
