(HEP) Hrvatska Elektroprivreda
projeCt Description
Restructuring of HEP Group (Croatia’s electric utility) as well as the new legal and institutional framework, resulted in significant changes in the Croatian energy sector. A significant part of legislation and specific policies regard renewable energy sources (RES) and their exploitation.
As such, RES is profitable. This is confirmed by a large interest from foreign and domestic investors.
To fulfill its sustainable development strategy and to take a leading role in the RES market, HEP formed a company called HEP – Obnovljivi izvori energije (HEP – Renewable energy sources). Through its new-founded company, HEP intends to develop the RES market and become a promoter and financial or technical partner in RES projects.
