Customers in Croatia are supplied with electricity from power plants in Croatia, from power plants built in neighboring countries for Croatia’s needs and with electricity procured from abroad. By its size, the Croatian power system is one of the smallest power systems in Europe.
The Croatian power system comprises plants and facilities for electricity production, transmission and distribution in the territory of the Republic of Croatia.
By reconnecting the UCTE synchronous zones 1 and 2, the Croatian power system has become a transit system again. The Croatian power system is a control area by HOPS. Together with the Slovenian power system and the power system of Bosnia and Herzegovina it constitutes the control block SLO – HR – BIH within the ENTSO-E association.
For the security reasons, quality of supply and exchange of electricity, the Croatian power system is interconnected with the systems of neighboring countries and together with them it is connected into the synchronous network of continental Europe.
All power stations in Croatia are owned and operated by Hrvatska elektroprivreda (HEP), the national power company. As of 2015, HEP operates 26 hydroelectric, 4 thermal and 3 cogenerating power plants with the total installed electrical power of 3.654 MW.
The participants agreed that Croatia has the potential to become a regional leader in the integration of renewable sources and battery energy storage, but this requires a rapid modernization of the transmission and distribution network, as well as legislative adjustments.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
