Energy In Croatia
Energy in Croatia describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in Croatia. As of 2021, Croatia imported about 52.9% of the total energy consumed annually: 80% of its oil demand, 67% of its gas, 32.5% of its electricity, and 100% of its coal needs. 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 28.5% of Croatia’s energy mix. Electricity ''Hrvatska elektroprivreda'' (HEP) is the national energy company charged with production, transmission and distribution of electricity. Production Total installed capacity of generating objects built in Croatia amounts to 3,557 MW, 2,166 MW of which is hydropower and renewable sources share and 1,391 MW comes from thermal and nuclear power plants. In 2020, domestic production amounted to 13,731 GWh, which was 68% of tota ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
