State and Resilience Building Contract BA2023AAP-Energy Support Package Contract related to: State and Resilience Building Contract BA2023AAP-Energy Support Package - Energy prices in Europe began soaring in 2021 after the lifting of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. The situation further exacerbated following the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine in 2022. The war upended energy markets, triggering heightened price volatility and energy insecurity impacting the EU and its immediate neighbourhood. The rise in energy prices impacted consequently other sectors as well, like production, transport and all service sectors in general. This crisis situation has forced the European Commission to refocus its immediate response, through a set of short-term energy security-related measures, in Europe and beyond, as set out in the REPowerEU plan1 and its EU external energy strategy2. The current energy crisis is unprecedented, and it is a challenge for not only the EU Member States but also for the Western Balkans partners. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, electricity prices are still stable, but heating prices based on different energy sources (including gas supplied via single gas route with Russian gas) have significantly increased.The overall objective of this Action is to assist Bosnia and Herzegovina in reducing the socio-economic impact of the rising energy prices, in particular on small and medium sized enterprises and households, and to strengthen the Government¿s overall capacity to deliver tailor-made services to vulnerable households and support the long-term socio-economic recovery, energy security and energy transition of the country.This action will contribute directly to SDG 7 `Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all¿, and also to other SDGs, among them SDG 8 `Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all¿, SDG 9 `Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation¿, SDG 10 `Reduce inequalities within and among countries¿, SDG 13 `Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts¿.
