Background

From an energy consumption perspective, Bosnia and Herzegovina is characterized as a country with very high inefficiency within the residential, non-residential/public, industry and service sector. At the same time however, Bosnia and Herzegovina has one of the most significant energy conservation potentials in the region and could base its further mid-term economic development and generation of new employment on energy efficiency improvement measures in the residential and public sector. Currently, BiH consumes about 20% of its GDP on energy, which is three times higher than in the U.S. and EU countries. Moreover, the average energy consumption of a public building in Bosnia and Herzegovina is three times higher than the EU average, categorizing them as completely energy inefficient buildings (in accordance with EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme – EMAS). In order to meet this energy intensive consumption demand, a significant amount of budget funds must be allocated for energy expenditures of public buildings (educational, health, cultural, municipal and entity/state institutions etc.) representing a major proportion of the already inadequate public budget.

Based on the results achieved so far, the Green Economic Development project (GED) has been developed and will focus on scaling-up and creation of self-sustainability within energy efficiency related activities in BiH and contribution to BiH‘s EU accession and fulfilment of Energy Community Treaty obligations. In order to achieve improvements in the sector, the project developed two set of aims (short-term and mid-term).

Short-term aims:

Create interest and motivate public sector buildings’ end-users to invest into energy efficiency by promoting grant co-financing;
Develop capacity and skills of BiH government levels (systematic approach to decision making processes of energy efficiency investments);
Achieve budget cost savings through implementation of EE projects in public sector buildings and reinvest savings into energy efficiency or other infrastructure projects.
Mid-term aims:

Institutionalize energy monitoring and reporting mechanisms / energy management;
Generate employment of domestic workforce;
Increase public awareness and understanding of EE benefits;
Develop and adopt sustainable financial mechanisms for EE project financing (performance-based granting, revolving mechanisms, soft-loans, etc.);
Contribute to BiH’s EU accession (EPBD, EED and RED directives);
Lower the risk to enter EE investments/provide loans for EE investments in BiH.
The GED Technical Associate provides project support services ensuring high quality, reliability, accuracy and consistency of work. The GED Technical Associate support and assist Project Manager on activities related to EE policy development, energy efficiency, energy management (EMIS), renewable energy, emission reduction and implementation of infrastructure works. S/he will support projects with expertise and relevant understanding in day-to-day implementation of projects and contribute to smooth collaboration with implementing partners and beneficiaries. S/he will be providing all needed support in handling overall direction, development and oversight of in-depth related knowledge and work in delivering project activities.
