The Federal Ministry of Environment and Tourism has officially launched the initial assessment procedure for a major wind energy project planned in the municipality of Glamoč. The request was submitted by local developer Vjetroelektrane, which is seeking approval to prepare a preliminary environmental impact assessment (EIA) study for the Slovinj wind farm.
The project envisages the installation of 23 wind turbines with an individual capacity of 6 MW, bringing the total planned capacity to 138 MW and expected annual generation to around 506 GWh. Earlier estimates put the total value of the investment at approximately €136 million, ranking Slovinj among the largest wind power projects currently proposed in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Development of the Slovinj wind farm began back in 2009, when long-term monitoring of wind speed and direction was initiated. The collected data confirmed that the Slovinj area is among the most wind-rich locations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Two comprehensive wind studies were subsequently carried out in 2013 and 2021, which analyzed wind conditions and site accessibility to determine the optimal layout for the turbines. Each turbine is planned with a tower height of 102.5 meters and a blade span of 155 meters.
In 2023, the Federal Ministry of Energy, Mining and Industry issued an energy permit to Vjetroelektrane for the construction of the 138 MW wind farm. The project company is owned by Sirena Anstalt, a firm registered in Liechtenstein.
