Tender No. 1/2020

A feed-in tariff (FIT) is awarded only through a public tender published at least once a year by HROTE (the Croatian Energy Market Operator, Hrvatski operator tržišta energije). The first one of its kind, since legislative changes in 2016, was published in November 2020. The same tender was published for awarding of both the FIT and FIP (Feed-in Premium).
The FIT is implemented through a guaranteed purchase price (zajamčena otkupna cijena) (Art. 33 et seq. of the RES Act). The FIT is available only for projects with up to 500 kW of installed power.
All bidders submit their bids at the same time and cannot change them afterwards. Every bid is a different and a unique project competing against other projects at locations which are not pre-defined by the call.
Every bid contains a proposal of the guaranteed purchase price for the project. However, proposals cannot exceed the maximum guaranteed purchase price defined for that group of production facilities and published in the public call.
Detailed prerequisites for the bidders are given in the public tender.
There are currently no public tenders open for awarding of the FIT in Croatia, but HROTE has to publish the tender at least once a year, as mentioned previously.

Installed capacity

Feed-in tariff

Physical or legal persons engaged in production of electricity from eligible sources with a pre-defined installed power (up to 500 kW).

HROTE publishes a public tender at least once a year for interested parties to apply for awarding of the FIT. Detailed prerequisites for the bidders are given in the public tender.
After the selection process is completed, HROTE publishes a list of all winning bids.
Selected bidders should gain the status of a privileged electricity producer (povlašteni proizvođač električne energije) for the duration of their contract with HROTE. The status of the privileged electricity producer is acquired by a decision of the Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA, Hrvatska energetska regulatorna agencija). Contracts are concluded for a period of 12 years.
