Bosnia and Herzegovina - Country's first wind farm in Mesihovina

The construction of Bosnia’s first wind farm, Mesihovina, started this week, with the first kilowatts from its 22 wind turbines expected to be produced in 2013.

The wind energy project is worth 78 million euro, including 72 million from a credit from Germany’s KfW. The wind farm will have an installed capacity of between 44 and 66 megawatts.

The wind power project is implemented by local power utility Elektroprivreda HZ-HB.
