Croatia receives electricity from the Krško nuclear power plant, which is located in Slovenia and jointly managed by both countries under an intergovernmental treaty. Around a third of available energy is produced domestically. Croatia exported almost 3.8 Mtoe in 2023, mostly oil and petroleum products, gas and electricity.
Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.
Croatia's territorial just transition plan envisages a phase-out of coal-fired electricity generation in the Istria region by 2033. However, the Commission's assessment of the draft updated NECP notes that Croatia seems to be postponing coal phase-out, while no timeline is laid out for phasing out fossil fuel subsidies.
Croatia exported almost 3.8 Mtoe in 2023, mostly oil and petroleum products, gas and electricity. Data source: Eurostat (nrg_bal_sd), 2024. Oil and petroleum products remained the main fraction in the country's energy mix (46.9 %) in 2023, followed by gas (26.9 %).
In addition, it will accelerate the decarbonization of the Croatian energy sector, according to the announcement. IE-Energy is based in Rijeka, Croatia’s fourth-largest city. It joined the intraday and day-ahead markets at the Croatian Power Exchange (CROPEX) last year. Documents reveal the project is scheduled to start on December 1.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with a 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%. Europe follows with a 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
