The first sub-dimension, governance and regulation, focuses on how the energy markets are governed and whether policy is conducive to establishing efficient and competitive energy markets. The second, energy security, explores measures taken to make the energy sector more resilient, including diversification of energy supply.
During his discussions, Director Lorkowski acknowledged the modest progress Bosnia and Herzegovina has achieved in implementing the Energy Community acquis in 2023.

As one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s (BiH) most important export sectors, the energy sector has the potential to be a major engine for economic growth in BiH. The sector is also relevant for the country’s accession to the EU, as development of competitive energy markets is required by the EU and the Energy Community Treaty.
To boost energy efficiency and energy savings, it also needs to cap primary energy consumption at 6.5 Mtoe and final energy consumption at 4.34 Mtoe by 2030. In mid-2023 Bosnia and Herzegovina published a draft National Energy and Climate Plan.
As well as new coal capacity, Bosnia and Herzegovina plans a large amount of new hydropower, which is proving even more controversial than the coal plants. In the last decade, more than 100 small hydropower plants have been built, causing widespread public resistance in places like Fojnica, Kruščica and on the Neretvica and Buna.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
