The Federal Ministry of the Environment and Tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina has received a request from UNA Wind Power, a local company backed by Croatian firm Ivicom Consulting, to conduct a preliminary environmental impact assessment (EIA) for a new wind power project. This initiative involves constructing a 40 MW wind farm near Bihac, consisting of eight 5 MW turbines.
In 2019, the Government of Una-Sana Canton (USK) signed a concession agreement with Ivicom Consulting for the development of this wind farm at Teocak, close to Bihac. The initial phase will involve assessing wind potential over the next year, with the data being used to attract financing from banks and other investors. The total estimated cost for the project is up to 120 million euros.
The concession allows for the construction of wind farms at two specific locations, aiming for a combined output of 40 MW. The concession is granted for a maximum of 30 years from the commissioning date, and one key condition states that the concession fee must be at least 2% of the total revenues from electricity sales.
