Turkey’s MB Holding was awarded a contract to build the Velika 1 geothermal power plant, an investment of HRK 325 million (USD 48.4 million), in 2015.

The plant has been in operation since March and has generated more than 55 gigawatt-hour (GWh) of electricity thus far, the ministry said.

A total of 15 Bosnian companies took part in the construction of the plant, which took two years to compete, seenews.com reported.
