Croatia: Incentives system for renewables and the 2019 Amendments

In December 2018 the Croatian Parliament adopted the amendments to the Renewables Act and the Government adopted two implementing regulations, which jointly apply as of 1 January 2019 (“2019 Amendments”)

Under the Renewables Act, applicable as of 1 January 2016, there are two types of incentive for renewables and cogeneration: (i) a premium tariff support scheme allocated through tenders, based on which eligible producers of electricity from RES may receive a premium tariff from the Croatian Energy Market Operator (“HROTE”) in addition to the selling price on the electricity market; and (ii) a guaranteed purchase price allocated through tenders for facilities up to 500 kW (prior to 2019 Amendments, 30 kW), based on which eligible producers of electricity from RES have the right to a guaranteed purchase price from HROTE.
