The basic characteristic of B&H energy sector is poor efficiency of energy use in the whole
life cycle (from the coal extraction or import of fuels up to conversion of of energy in money
or comfort). The consequence is the very high energy intensity- in 1991, B&H had almost 2.5
times higher energy consumption per GDP unit then it was in some other ex-Yugoslavia
republics, such as Croatia and Macedonia. One of the reasons of high-energy intensity in
B&H in that time was export of electricity, with low prices in some other republics of ex-
Yugoslavia. [15]
