Croatia adopted its National Renewable Energy Action Plan until 2020

The government of Croatia has adopted its National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) until 2020.

The plan is in line with the European Union directive on renewable sources that sets a 20% target of renewables in energy consumption by 2020, while the renewables share in the national energy consumption reached around 15% at the end of 2012. It shifts the focus from encouraging wind farm construction to energy production from biomass, biogas, cogeneration plants and small hydroelectric power plants, reducing the total incentive costs. The total cost of the policy should then be reduced from HRK21.1bn (€2.75bn) with the current system to HRK13.9bn (€1.82bn) according to the new plan over the 2013-2020 period.
