EFT is pursuing an ambitious plan of investment across South-East Europe. The Group’s aim is to become the first privately owned, major energy producer in the region. EFT’s strategic objective is to deliver a substantial part of its trading portfolio from own energy sources and, as a result, to ensure the long term stability of the Group’s trading operation.

The cycle of investment includes the building of Stanari TPP, which will be the first new thermal power plant in the western Balkans in the last 30 years. EFT is also competing to build the Boskov Most HPP in Macedonia, as well as small hydro-power plants and wind generators in Montenegro. The Group is also exploring the possibility of building a 132 MW thermal power plant at the Čukara location in central Serbia.

The company has already successfully realised over EUR 50 million of investment, in the Fatničko Polje accumulation tunnel and the Stanari mine in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This makes EFT the biggest foreign investor in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s energy sector to date.

All of EFT’s investments are developed in line with the European Union directives on protection of the environment. The company’s philosophy is that apart from providing sound basis for future growth of EFT, the investments should also stimulate progress, job and wealth creation, and provide foundation for sustainable growth throughout the local communities.
