In February 2026, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) reported a substantial increase in gross electricity production, reaching 774 GWh. This figure represents a remarkable 25.4% increase from the 617 GWh recorded during the same month in 2025, indicating a robust growth trajectory in the region’s electricity generation capabilities.
The composition of this production highlights the dominance of hydropower plants, which accounted for 57.6% of the total output. Thermal power plants contributed 35%, while wind farms represented the remaining 7.4%. This distribution emphasizes the ongoing reliance on hydropower as a primary energy source within the Federation’s energy mix.
Net electricity production for February was reported at 740 GWh, with hydropower plants generating 443 GWh, thermal sources contributing 240 GWh, and wind farms producing 57 GWh. This diversified generation profile underscores the Federation’s strategic emphasis on renewable energy sources.
Electricity imports decreased to 147 GWh from 191 GWh year-on-year, reflecting a reduction in import dependence. Conversely, electricity exports slightly declined to 83 GWh from 87 GWh in February 2025, indicating stable cross-border trade dynamics despite fluctuations in production levels.
<pOn the fossil fuel side, brown coal production saw a significant drop to 257,695 tons in February 2026, down 18.7% from 316,897 tons in the same month of the previous year. Lignite production also fell to 96,384 tons compared to 111,261 tons in February 2025, marking a 13.4% decrease.
The decline in coal output was further exacerbated by a sharp reduction in coke production, which plummeted to 17,861 tons from 29,046 tons year-on-year—a staggering 38.5% decrease. These trends indicate diminishing activity within the coal-based segment of both the energy and industrial sectors.
The overall data reflects a significant shift towards increased electricity generation while simultaneously highlighting a contraction in fossil fuel production. This trend suggests an evolving energy structure within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina as it navigates its future energy landscape.
