RES support schemes
Croatia supports a wide range of technologies for electricity generation, energy efficiency, heating, cooling and transport through different schemes. The Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development offers lending instruments to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Electricity generation from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power is supported by a feed-in tariff/premium. For transport there is support through a subsidy scheme for low- or zero-emission vehicles and there is a quota for the use of biofuel.
Support schemes:
- Technology-neutral investment loans for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
- Feed-in tariffs and Feed-in Premiums are awarded through tender procedures operated by the Croatian Energy Market Operator
- A net metering system applies to electricity-producing consumers. Produced electricity must be used primarily for own consumption.
- Subsidies are granted for the purchase of private electric vehicles and public transportation buses with low and very low CO2 emissions.
- Croatia has a biofuel quota that obliges fuel producers to include a percentage biofuel into their products.
- Croatia co-finances the development of the alternative fuels infrastructure such as charging infrastructure.
