Last week two key regulatory changes took place that will have important implications for future development of the Croatian renewable energy market.

With so many changes taking place in the Croatian energy sector, many opportunities are opening up.

Will new rules of the game improve competitiveness on the Croatian energy market?

Croatia has enacted legislation establishing a legal framework for nuclear energy development, marking a significant shift in the country's energy policy.

Croatia's energy regulator has introduced a uniform EUR/kW tariff system for electricity grid connections, replacing three years of case-by-case pricing uncertainty.

The key electricity-related laws in Croatia are the Energy Act (Zakon o energiji), setting out the fundamental principles for performance of energy activities, the Act on the Regulation of Energy Activities (Zakon o regulaciji energetskih djelatnosti), governing the energy sector and the Electricity Market Act (Zakon o tržištu električne energije), defining the Croatian Electricity Market as well as the roles and responsibilities of market participants.
