On the basis of this Regulation, it is required that from 1 May 2011, in the electricity bill in the Federation of BiH that is delivered to the customer, exist a separate item to indicate the amount of fees to encourage use of renewable sources that all customers pay.

The aim of the Regulation is a major boost production and consumption of electricity from renewable sources, which is generated in power plants that use only renewable energy sources.

Production of energy encourages the purchase of the obligation guaranteed by the power companies at prices that are significantly higher than the cost of existing plants. These guaranteed purchase prices are different and depend on the size and type of source. The reference price for 2012 amounts 0.1226 KM / kWh
