HEP ODS announced that the programme to replace 11 existing and construct two new submarine cable sections, including the 8,150‑metre 20 kV Tribunj–Logorun–Kaprije connection, represents an investment of €33 million under the broader "Modernisation of the Croatian Electricity Distribution Network" initiative. The figure covers long 20 kV and 35 kV submarine links along the Adriatic coast, aimed at improving security of electricity supply to islands such as Kaprije and completing the Šibenik archipelago supply ring.
€33M
By late June 2025, HEP ODS, via Elektra Šibenik and Elektrodalmacija Split, had successfully completed installation of a replacement 20 kV submarine cable totaling 8,150 metres along the Tribunj–Logorun–Kaprije route, strengthening Kaprije’s electricity supply and enabling closure of the Šibenik archipelago distribution ring as part of a wider submarine cable modernisation programme.
HEP Operator distribucijskog sustava (HEP ODS) confirmed that the project activity "Podmorski kabeli u distribucijskoj mreži za napajanje otoka", which includes the 20 kV Tribunj–Logorun–Kaprije submarine cable among three planned cable sections, has a value of €26.71 million and is financed entirely by non‑repayable grants from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NPOO) as part of the €286 million "Modernisation of the Croatian Electricity Distribution Network" programme. This capital support secures funding for the 2025 laying of the Tribunj–Logorun–Kaprije cable and other long island-supply links prior to and after the tourist season.
€26.71M (grant)
HEP ODS planned to start laying a new 20 kV submarine cable section between Tribunj on the mainland, Logorun Islet and Kaprije Island (PKB 20 kV Tribunj–Logorun–Kaprije, 8,150 metres) in May 2025, as part of its “Podmorski kabeli u distribucijskoj mreži za napajanje otoka” project, with works scheduled to begin in May and be completed by mid‑June, subject to sea and other conditions.
In late February 2025, HEP ODS’s NPOO PKB core team met in Split and agreed the implementation schedule for several submarine cable sections, including the 20 kV PKB Tribunj–Logorun–Kaprije link (8,150 metres). The plan set working windows from 1 April to 15 June and from 1 September to 1 November 2025, with works on the Tribunj–Logorun–Kaprije section planned to start in May and be laid by mid‑June, ahead of the tourist season.
