It is the first publicly available tool that provides all the necessary information about the solar potential in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was handed over to the Independent System Operator (NOS) in BiH.

Raduška Cupać, Energy and Environment Sector Leader at UNDP BiH, thanked Slovakia for the financial support for this project, as well as NOS for recognizing the importance of ISA, the purpose of which is to facilitate the transition to renewable energy sources for the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will ultimately contribute to reducing the use of fossil fuels, as well as building a sustainable and more environmentally friendly future.

This solar atlas, as a web platform, is an important tool, with data that can be updated in accordance with current changes in the field of solar energy. This is also a key step for creating a positive environment for investments in solar energy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The General Director of NOS, Nemanja Pandurević, said on that occasion: "Bosnia and Herzegovina has undertaken its obligations by signing the Paris Agreement and the Sofia Declaration, as well as the Treaty on the Establishment of the Energy Community." NOS is working on the realization of the set goals, and through the National Energy and Climate Plans until 203O. we have set ambitious goals where we need to reverse the relationship between thermal power plants and solar energy in favor of solar energy, and ISA will truly help us here. ISA found the right address by coming to NOSBiH!”

The interactive solar atlas aims to motivate citizens, owners of private and public facilities to use solar panels and collectors for the production of renewable energy as a measure to support the transition to clean energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Patrik Turošík, chargé d'affaires, a.i. Embassy of the Slovak Republic, also emphasized the importance of this extremely useful tool, thanks to which BiH made a step towards a sustainable future."On behalf of the Slovak Republic, we are very proud to support this project and hope that the Interactive Solar Atlas will lead to making the right decisions and wise investments in renewable energy sources," added Turošík.

In addition to this important tool, in the previous period, SolarCET also worked in cooperation with local self-government units on the development of financial mechanisms, and the implementation and subsidization of the installation of solar systems for own needs in over 60 individual housing facilities in the area of Mostar, Cazin, Gradiška and Prijedor.
