SARAJEVO (Bosnia and Herzegovina), March 25 (SeeNews) – The Bosnian municipality of Bihac said it accepted the proposal of local power utility Elektroprivreda BiH (EPBiH) for launch of a feasibility study for hydropower plant (HPP) project Unac.
The plant, estimated to be worth some 200 million marka ($133 million/102 million euro), is planned to have two units of 36 megawatts each, the municipality of Bihac said in a statement on Friday. The feasibility study will include a watertightness test of the Unac water basin, it added.
Last year, EPBiH said it will need the support of the local authorities in the Una-Sana canton to carry out several energy projects, including HPP Unac on the Unac river.
Bihac is located in the Una-Sana canton, one of the ten cantons of the Muslim-Croat Federation. The Federation is one of the two autonomous entities making up Bosnia and Herzegovina. The other one is the Serb Republic.
