Visiting the First Wind Power Project of Chinese Enterprises in Bosnia and Herzegovina

2023-05-08

Traveling west from the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, takes about 3 hours by car to reach a karst hilly area at the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. This is the location of China Electric Power Construction Group's Ivovik Wind Farm and the first new energy project invested by a Chinese enterprise in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A reporter from Xinhua News Agency recently drove to the Ivovik Wind Farm and stopped in front of the No.1 wind turbine. The landscape in front of him shifted from the gentle and soothing hills to a stunning visual experience, and he saw the 100 meter wind turbine tower pointing straight at the blue sky, dazzling and towering. The upper part of the tower is connected to the hub blades, ready to fly in the air. Each leaf near the top has a section painted red to help birds identify and avoid it. The Ivovik wind farm is located in Livno City and is designed to generate 84 megawatts of electricity. As a project included in the list of outcomes of the 2021 China CEEC Summit, the Ivovic Wind Power Project will further optimize the power structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina and improve local socio-economic benefits after completion, which is a fruitful result of the "the Belt and Road" initiative. Xiao Xin, General Manager of China Power Construction Bosnia and Herzegovina Ivovic Wind Power Company, introduced that the components of the 20 wind turbines are all "made in China". The telescopic boom crane team performing the lifting task is also from China. Within the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are mostly mountain roads. After the ultra long wind turbine blades arrive in Bosnia and Herzegovina, they are then transported by trailer to the construction site through winding mountain roads, creating a magnificent scene. This is also a stage for enterprises to work together and deepen their cultivation of "Chinese Smart Manufacturing". The general contractor of the Ivovik Wind Power Project, China Power Construction Group Chengdu Survey, Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., is responsible for the entire process from engineering design, equipment procurement, wind turbine installation, electrical installation to commissioning and trial operation, until the project handover. The workers operating the crane amidst the roaring sound of the machines came from the subcontracting company Xiyutong Electric Power Construction Co., Ltd. They came from Croatia to fight. There, they have successfully completed the installation of the Seni wind power project and won a good reputation. The total lifting weight of a single wind turbine is about 500 tons, which requires a foundation burial depth of 5 meters, "said Zhang Guozhi, Deputy Manager of the Ivovik Wind Farm Construction Project Department. Chinese builders have also achieved good results in internal management and integration into the local areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At Ivovik Wind Power Company, Chinese employees must communicate in English according to regulations, with the aim of facilitating accessible participation by local employees; As long as local employees are outstanding enough, opportunities for promotion are always open to them. The company often walks into the community and even initiated a painting competition titled "Wind Farm in My Eyes" in elementary school. 34 year old Kosich Boyan graduated from the Department of Sinology at the University of East Sarajevo, mainly responsible for handling land matters related to the project. He has been a department manager at the company for over a year. I hope to keep going with Ivovik, "Boyan said. The project is steadily advancing and continuously enhancing local people's awareness of Chinese enterprises. Wind farms comply with European energy policies and bring employment opportunities to Livno, and we welcome it, "Livno Mayor Dalko Condrich told Xinhua News Agency in an interview. At the end of 2022, China Power Construction BiH Ivovik Wind Power Company won the BiH Best Foreign Investor Award for 2022. I have been to the project site and I am very impressed. Chinese companies come here with funds and sincerity,
