Technical requirements: The project on ‘Promotion of Renewable Energy (focus hydropower) in Bosnia and Herzegovina’ is opening a tender to support its work on the reform of the support schemes for renewable energy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The country is obliged to reform its support schemes to more market based approaches (Feed-in premiums, auctions etc.). The overall project will last until 12/2019 and foresees consultancy support for the above mentioned area via international and national short-term experts until 10/2019.
The Technical Cooperation Project ‘ Promotion of Renewable Energy (focus hydropower) in Bosnia and Herzegovina ’ with an overall term from January 2016 to December 2019 has the aim to improve the framework conditions for renewable energies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One area of support are advisory services on the reform of the current Feed-In Tariff system of support for renewable energies to more market based approaches, such as Feed-in Premiums and Auctions. The consulting firm (or consortium) shall be assigned with the provision of advisory services in the reform processes to the project partners via international and national short-term experts. The consulting firm will support the development of policy options for the new support schemes and, in a second stage, develop an in-depth concept for the chosen option. The overall result is to develop a detailed market-based support scheme concept by June 2019, which is ready for adoption by the respective governments in the country. The detailed concept will be a full package focusing on the type of support and allocation mechanisms, more precisely revision and drafting legal and regulatory aspects, institutional framework, financial aspect, economic aspect, tendering documents and procedures. The contract period is foreseen until October 2019.
