These patterns indicate the potential for diversifying Croatia's clean energy sources and reducing the vulnerability of relying heavily on a single energy type. Croatia's electricity mix includes 27% Hydropower, 17% Wind and 13% Gas. Low-carbon generation peaked in 2023.
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.
Trends from the second quarter of 2025 clearly confirm that Croatia still largely depends on electricity imports, while unfavorable hydrometeorological conditions and the unfeasibility of electricity production from fossil fuels further highlight the limited self-sufficiency of our electricity system.
Croatia's National Energy Strategy 2009-2020 has three basic objectives: increase security of energy supply, develop competitive energy system and ensure sustainable energy sector development. These objectives are particularly important for the count
In Croatia"s evolving energy landscape, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems have become critical for businesses and households alike. With frequent voltage fluctuations and occasional grid

The total installed capacity of all available power plants in Croatia as of 1 July 2025 was 5,793 MW, of which: renewable sources account for 4,733 MW or 81.7%, while non-renewable
In 2021, the proportion of hydro in the power mix increased to 47% while the gas ratio climbed to 20%. Since 2014, the percentage of wind has doubled, reaching 13% in 2020 (compared to 1% for solar).
