The Stanari TPP project provides a unique opportunity for Bosnia and Herzegovina to create wealth and the much needed economic activity through investment, added value and new employment.

With an overall expected investment value of over EUR 500 million, the development of the Stanari energy complex represents the biggest investment in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s energy sector to date. Some of the key economic effects of this investment are:

• 3000 new jobs to be created during the construction phase
• 900 permanent jobs to be created at the mine and power plant from 2012
• A substantial part of the overall investment to remain in the domestic economy. Primary beneficiaries will be the BiH construction industry, various suppliers, logistics and other service providers.
• The budgets of Republika Srpska and the Doboj municipality will receive additional incomes from concession and other fees and taxes.
• Considerable secondary economic effects on the surrounding region
