  • Three years ago, a group of local activists in the village of Pecka in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina set out to exploit the sun’s potential and build a solar power plant on the roof of the Pecka Visitor Center.
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina is a federal state made up of two “entities”: the Serb-majority Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • At present, less than 20% of the utility’s power is green, although it plans to invest about €220 million in renewable energy sources over the next two to three years, primarily in solar, wind and hydroelectric.
