SUMMARY
of Rules on amendments to Connection Rules

In its work, the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) has been continuously monitoring and supporting the development of new technologies which are conducive to further electricity market development and the stability of the electric power system in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Safe and reliable operation of the power system while enabling the integration of new technologies into the electric power system, is one of the preconditions for further market development and quality supply of electricity customers. Enabling investment in new technologies such as electricity storage will improve the quality of system operation while enhancing its flexibility and providing additional opportunities both in the electricity market and for running of the system.

Acknowledging that electricity storages are already regulated through the Network Code and Market Rules, as well as the purpose of the energy regulations of the European Union and the Energy Community, which become obligatory for BIH as well, SERC is of the opinion that there are justified reasons for their regulation also through the Connection Rules.  To this end, at the session held on 16 July 2025 SERC defined  Draft rules on amendments to the Connection Rules.

At the same time the State Electricity Regulatory Commission issues a
