-In 2021, the largest source of energy in Bosnia and Herzegovina was coal (51%), followed by oil with 22% contributing to the total energy supply.<ref>https://www.iea.org/countries/bosnia-and-herzegovina/energy-mix</ref> In terms of electricity generation, 60% is generated from coal and 37% is generated from hydropower.<ref>https://www.iea.org/countries/bosnia-and-herzegovina/electricity</ref>
+Bosnia and Herzegovina is a self-sufficient, net exporter of electricity. However, its energy sector relies mostly on fossil fuels, in addition to hydro and a negligible level of other renewables.<ref>https://www.irena.org/Publications/2023/Sep/Renewables-Readiness-Assessment-Bosnia-and-Herzegovina</ref> In 2021, the largest source of energy in Bosnia and Herzegovina was coal (51%), followed by oil with 22% contributing to the total energy supply.<ref>https://www.iea.org/countries/bosnia-and-herzegovina/energy-mix</ref> In terms of electricity generation, 60% was generated from coal and 37% was generated from hydropower.<ref>https://www.iea.org/countries/bosnia-and-herzegovina/electricity</ref>
-Bosnia and Herzegovina has shown interest in increasing its use of renewable energy sources to diversify its energy mix and reduce dependence on conventional energy sources. The country has significant potential for renewable energy, including hydropower, wind, and solar.
+Bosnia and Herzegovina has shown interest in increasing its use of renewable energy sources to diversify its energy mix and reduce dependence on conventional energy sources. The country has significant potential for renewable energy, including biomass, hydropower, wind, and solar.
 Hydropower has historically been the dominant renewable energy source in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and several hydropower plants are in operation. The country has been exploring opportunities to expand its hydropower capacity, but such projects can face environmental and social challenges.
