September 22 (SeeNews) - Suzlon Wind Energy BH, the Bosnian subsidiary of Danish renewable energy solutions provider Suzlon Energy, will launch on September 26 the construction of the 25 MW Ivan Sedlo wind farm, an investment worth 30 million euro ($29.5 million), the economy ministry of Sarajevo Canton said.
The start of the works was delayed by changes in the project documentation and other administrative procedures, the economy ministry of Sarajevo Canton said in a press release on Wednesday.
Suzlon was initially expected to launch construction works on the project in 2019. The concession deal for the construction and operation of the wind farm was signed in 2018. In February, 2021, Sarajevo Canton's government signed an annex to an agreement with Suzlon Wind Energy BH for the construction of the wind farm to reflect changes in the project documentation related to the purchase of latest defrosting technology.
The wind farm is located in Ivan Sedlo mountain pass, some 20 km west of Sarajevo. The Sarajevo Canton is one of ten cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of two entities in the country. The other is the Serb Republic.
