Summary of support schemes
- HBOR-Loans. The loans granted for the implementation of RES-E projects are part of the “environmental protection” loan scheme by the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development (HBOR) in cooperation with commercial banks.
- FZOEU-Incentives. The Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund (FZOEU) offers financial incentives (interest-free loans, subsidies, financial assistance, donations) for the use of renewable energy sources.
- Premium tariff. RES-E plant operators, who have obtained the status of privileged producer and have won a public tender carried out by the Croatian Energy Market Operator, can receive a premium tariff in addition to the selling price, which was obtained on the electricity market.
- Feed-in Tariff. Privileged producers owning RES installations, which do not exceed a capacity of 500 kW, can conclude a power selling contract at a guaranteed purchase price, if they have won a public tender carried out by the Croatian Energy Market Operator.
