Bosnian electricity distributor Elektrokrajina plans to invest about €30 million in a three-year reconstruction of its distribution network, targeting lower losses and improved reliability across five cities and 16 municipalities.
The programme will modernise around 1,700 km of medium- and low-voltage lines and replace roughly 43,000 poles, covering about 12% of the company’s network.
Elektrokrajina aims to cut distribution losses to around 6% from 10%, which it estimates could generate annual savings exceeding €2 million. Works will focus particularly on peripheral areas where outages and network problems are more frequent.
The programme will be financed through a €38 million EBRD loan, with €30 million allocated to reconstruction and €8 million refinancing existing obligations. The financing includes a four-year grace period and 20-year maturity.
Procurement will be divided into three lots under EBRD procedures, opening a potentially significant pipeline of grid work for regional contractors.
