Overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina's renewable energy stood at 36.60% in 2021, a decline of +1.10% from 2020. Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked 64th globally.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s share of renewable energy in total final consumption rose from a low of 7.30 percent in 1990 to 36.60 percent in 2021, placing the country 64th globally and closely behind Austria’s 36.00 percent and Estonia’s 38.00 percent in the most recent year. The upward trajectory accelerated after the early 1990s, reaching an all‑time peak of 37.70 percent in 2020 before a modest dip to the 2021 level. Over the 32‑year coverage period the increase reflects sustained policy incentives, grid integration projects and EU‑aligned renewable targets, while the slight post‑peak decline may signal capacity constraints or slower investment cycles. Continued alignment with European Union renewable directives, coupled with expanded financing for wind and solar installations, could restore growth and push the share above the 2020 peak in the coming years.
