About
The Republic of Croatia is an EU and euro area member state with an energy system characterised by high import dependence alongside significant domestic low‑carbon resources. In 2023 the country imported more than half of its total energy consumption, including most of its oil, gas and all coal, while largely meeting electricity demand from hydropower and thermal plants supplemented by a 50% share of the Krško nuclear power plant in neighbouring Slovenia. At the end of 2022, installed capacity in Croatia totalled 4,946.8 MW, comprising 2,203.4 MW of hydropower, 1,534.6 MW of thermal generation, 986.9 MW of wind and 222.0 MW of solar, plus 348 MW of nuclear capacity allocated from Krško. In 2022, 63.7% of domestic electricity generation came from renewable sources, with large hydropower providing 38.4% and other renewables such as wind, small hydro, biomass, geothermal, biogas and solar providing 25.4%.
