As of Thursday, in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina the construction of small hydropower plants with an installed capacity of up to ten megawatts is prohibited.
The House of Peoples of the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed the earlier decision of the House of Representatives, which brought into force the ban on the construction of small hydropower plants.
This decision was regulated by the adoption of the Law on Amendments to the Law on Electricity in the FBiH, which foresees the ban on the planning and construction of new small hydropower plants in that entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“This historic decision came as a result of the pressure and ten-year struggle of activists in numerous local communities who resolutely opposed the construction of ecocidal mini-hydroelectric plants,” announced the “Atelier for Social Change” Foundation.
