Electricity prices in Bosnia & Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina produces more electricity than it consumes in most years, relying on domestic lignite-fired plants and a large fleet of hydropower stations, with wind and solar only beginning to add to the mix. Supply to households is dominated by three public power utilities organised along entity and regional lines.

Household tariffs are regulated by the entity-level energy regulators rather than set by competing suppliers, and bills are issued in convertible marks, a currency pegged to the euro. Two-rate metering with cheaper night-time electricity is widespread, and because gas networks are limited to a few cities, many homes heat with wood, coal or electricity, which pushes consumption up sharply in winter.
