BiH Power Companies Learn to Compete on Merit
For the first time, BiH power companies had to prove their worth before gaining the right to generate and distribute power. In December, the BiH Federation's Regulatory Commission for Electricity (FERK) issued the first licenses for power generation and distribution to companies in BiH. This marked a milestone in USAID's efforts to create transparency in the energy sector. Power companies were required to submit applications, the merits of which were discussed in public hearings.
USAID's technical assistance helped set up the Regulatory Commissions for the State as well as for the RS and Federation. USAID trains the Commissioners in modern practices acceptable to the EU. They include operating in an open manner that is based on merit not favoritism.
