Photovoltaic and wind power generation systems in Croatia
Currently in Croatia there's a total of 364 wind turbines which generate total of 970.15 MW or electric energy, but with new turbines coming on-line all the time, it is expected that by mid 2020s total installed power will reach 3,200 MW, [5] As of early 2020 Croatia generates around 28.3% renewable energy, Government hopes Croatia could generate around 37.5% renewable energy from wind and solar by 2030 and has adopted new strategy to achieve that target.

Energy in Croatia describes and production, consumption and import in . As of 2023, Croatia imported about 54.54% of the total energy consumed annually: 78.34% of its oil demand, 74.48% of its gas and 100% of its coal needs. [pdf]FAQS about Croatia Mobile Power Generation Company
How does Croatia get its electricity?
Croatia satisfies its electricity needs largely from hydro and thermal power plants, and partly from the Krško nuclear power plant, which is co-owned by Croatian and Slovenian state-owned power companies. Renewable energies account for approximately 31.33% of Croatia's energy mix.
Who owns a power station in Croatia?
All power stations in Croatia are owned and operated by Hrvatska elektroprivreda (HEP), the national power company. As of 2015, HEP operates 26 hydroelectric, 4 thermal and 3 cogenerating power plants with the total installed electrical power of 3.654 MW.
Who owns Croatia's electricity?
Most of Croatia’s electricity generation capacity is owned by Hrvatska Elektroprivreda, the state-owned electricity group, though with an increasing number of privately-owned renewables facilities – primarily wind farms.
How many power plants are there in Croatia?
At the end of 2022, the total available power of power plants on the territory of the Republic of Croatia was 4,946.8 MW, of which 1,534.6 MW in thermal power plants, 2,203.4 MW in hydropower plants, 986.9 MW in wind power plants and 222.0 MW in solar power plants.
How much energy does Croatia use?
According to Eurostat, gross primary energy consumption in Croatia in 2021 was 9.61 Terrawatt hours (TWh) and final energy consumption was 8.1 TWh. Renewable energies account for 31.33 % of Croatia’s energy mix, with 53.47% of total electricity production coming from renewables, primarily large hydropower plants.
Is Croatia dependent on electricity imports?
Croatia is somewhat dependent on electricity imports, depending on hydrological conditions. However this is partly due to the fact that the Krsko nuclear power plant in Slovenia, of which HEP owns 50 percent, also contributes to Croatia’s electricity supply but is counted under imports in the statistics.
