Total Area (km²): It includes a country's total area, including areas under inland bodies of water and some coastal waterways.
51,210
Population: It is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin.
3,210,847 (2023)
Rural Population (% of total population): It refers to people living in rural areas as defined by national statistical offices. It is calculated as the difference between total population and urban population.
50 (2023)
GDP (current US$): It is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources.
27,054,889,363 (2023)
GDP Per Capita (current US$): It is gross domestic product divided by midyear population
8,426.09 (2023)
Access to Electricity (% of population): It is the percentage of population with access to electricity.
100.00 (2022)
Energy Imports Net (% of energy use): It is estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.

Introduction
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country in Southeast Europe, situated on the Balkan Peninsula. It borders Serbia to the east, Montenegro to the southeast, and Croatia to the north and southwest. The country has a moderate continental climate with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. In the central and eastern regions, the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and in the northeast it is predominantly flat. Herzegovina, the smaller, southern region, has a Mediterranean climate and is mostly mountainous.[1]
Bosnia and Herzegovina is an EU candidate country.[1]
Energy Situation
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.[2] In terms of electricity generation, 60% is generated from coal and 37% is generated from hydropower.[3]
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.
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.
Wind and solar energy have also gained attention, and there were plans for the development of wind and solar projects in various regions. However, progress may depend on regulatory frameworks, investment incentives, and other factors that influence the renewable energy sector's growth.
