EBRD has launched a tender for 28 MW of solar PV capacity across 3 sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina
One of the 3 projects will be co-located with an existing wind farm
These projects are part of EPBiH’s Solar Transition Programme that targets 195 MW of PV installations
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has launched a tender for the design and construction of 3 solar power plants in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It has launched the tender with a combined 28 MW capacity on behalf of the state electric utility JP Elektroprivreda BiH (EPBiH) for Gornja Breza, Visca, and Podvelezje 3 solar power plants.
The utility intends to use part of the proceeds of a loan from/grant administered by the bank towards the cost of the EPBiH Solar Transition Programme. The EBRD loan is meant to support the development, construction and operation of 13 solar power plants with a combined 195 MW of installed capacity in 2 tranches.
Tranche I comprises 8 solar power plants with a total estimated capacity of 84 MW. Out of these, 7 projects are located within the exploited areas of surface coal mines. The 3 abovementioned projects, with a combined capacity of 28 MW, are part of Tranche I. Podvelezje 3 is located within the compound of an existing EPBiH wind farm.
EPBiH had earlier announced plans to develop 200 MW solar capacity on its open coal pits where it has completed mining activities, by 2025 (see Solar Power For Coal Pits Of Bosnian Electric Utility).
The bank issued the call on April 10, 2025 on its website. The last date to submit bids is May 26, 2025.
