At the eighth panel of the Balkan Solar Summit, focused on small hydropower plants in Bosnia and Herzegovina under the theme “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow,” moderator Amer Jerlagić and panelists Dragan Jerinić, Edhem Bičakčić, Ljubinko Kostić, and Armin Hadžijalić shared some of the key conclusions from the panel.
The panel engaged in a deep discussion on the role of the profession in the development of small hydropower plant projects, particularly in the context of creating legal and other regulations related to the construction and operation of small hydropower plants.
It was concluded that there is a significant need for stricter regulations to ensure compliance with ecological standards and the principles of sustainable energy planning (SEP). The panelists emphasized the importance of balancing energy needs with ecosystem preservation, as well as the need for transparency in decision-making processes and project implementation. These conclusions lay the foundation for further consideration and improvement.
