The Ministry of Mining and Energy of the Republic of Srpska (RS) said that it has signed a 30-year concession contract worth some 8.9 million euros with local company V&Z Zastita for the construction of a 10 MW solar power plant near Bileca.
The future solar power plant will have an annual electricity generation of some 16.5 GWh and its construction should be completed within two years. The tender for awarding the concession was launched in July this year.
In July 2020, RS Ministry of Energy and Mining signed a concession agreement on the construction of solar power plant near Bileca with EFT International Investments Holding.
