Bosnia and Herzegovina power grid

OverWatts maps 2,442 km of Bosnia and Herzegovina's electricity transmission network across 91 line segments and 4 substations, the 82nd most-mapped grid of 153 countries. Its backbone is high voltage (220–379 kV), carrying 1,668 km — 68% of the mapped length, with the highest tagged voltage at 400 kV. That works out to 48.3 km per 1,000 km² of land — strong OpenStreetMap coverage, ahead of 88% of mapped countries. It is connected to 3 neighbouring grids by 2,080 MW of existing cross-border transfer capacity, with a further 4,304 MW planned.

OpenStreetMap coverage

Strong48.3 km / 1,000 km²ahead of 88% of 153 mapped countries

This grades how completely OpenStreetMap has drawn Bosnia and Herzegovina's network — not how much network exists. Large, sparsely-populated countries score low for geographic reasons alone, and every kilometre here is mapped length, so the totals are a floor rather than an operator-reported figure. 14% of segments carry a real line name and 1% an operator tag.

Mapped line length by voltage

91 segments · a segment is credited to the country containing its midpoint, so a border-crossing line counts once, on one side.

Where there is room to connect a new load depends on published hosting capacity, which most operators release only as their own map. OverWatts does not yet ingest those feeds, so these are the density measures the open data supports — generation and mapped demand against mapped network — not a headroom figure.

Operators tagged on Bosnia and Herzegovina's network

Segment counts from OSM `operator` tags, merged across spellings. Present on 1% of segments — this ranks who is recorded, not market share.

How Bosnia and Herzegovina compares · mapped grid by country

Frequently asked

How big is Bosnia and Herzegovina's transmission network?
OverWatts maps 2,442 km of transmission line in Bosnia and Herzegovina, across 91 segments, plus 4 substations. This is mapped length from OpenStreetMap, not an operator-reported total — where OSM is incomplete the figure is a floor, never a ceiling.
What voltage is Bosnia and Herzegovina's grid?
Most of the mapped network is high voltage (220–379 kV): 1,668 km of 2,442 km. The highest voltage tagged anywhere in the country is 400 kV.
How complete is the grid map for Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Strong — 48.3 km of mapped line per 1,000 km² of land, ahead of 88% of the 153 countries with any mapped grid. Coverage grades how completely OpenStreetMap has drawn the network, not how much network exists; large, sparsely-populated countries score low for geographic reasons alone.
Who operates the grid in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Elektroprijenos BiH/Електропренос БиХ are tagged as operators on mapped segments. Operator tags are present on 1% of Bosnia and Herzegovina's segments, so this ranks who is *recorded*, not market share.
What interconnectors connect Bosnia and Herzegovina to its neighbours?
2,080 MW of cross-border transfer capacity to Montenegro, Croatia, Serbia, plus 4,304 MW planned. Capacities are from the Global Transmission Database (v1.0, 2023).
