Third Energy Pack-age
• Croatia became EU member on 1st June 2013 - joined the EU inter-nal
mar-ket
• Third Energy Pack-age transposed into the national legal framework
– elec-tric-ity mar-ket has been fully opened as of 1 July 2008
– unbundling of network activities from production and supply
– non-discrimination among participants on the market and strengthening market
competition

National utility company (HEP) and the Republic of Croatia significantly
depend on hydrological conditions and the imported electricity
HPP 40%
• In 2013 Croatia imported 20% of electricity
and 65% of primary energy.
TPP 24% • Hydropower makes for almost 40% of the
electricity balance: low cost but highly
dependent on hydrological conditions
Imports 21%

Reduction in economic activity has resulted in the reduction of energy consumption,
which has a direct impact on making our target of 20% RES in gross total energy
consumption.
CEI 24/02/2015 4
Analysis of RES projects in accordance with the objectives of the National
Action Plan for renewable energy sources by 2020.
In 2013 the Government adopted the National Action Plan for renewable energy sources by
2020 (NAP), taking into account the objective of the Strategy of 20% renewable energy in the
gross total energy consumption by 2020.
