Croatia plans to launch two solar tenders in 2025, according to the country’s indicative annual figures publication plan for the year, which is now available on the website of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Green Transition (MZOZT).
The plan includes a €10 million public appeal to install residential solar panels in the second quarter of 2025, covering up to 50% of the system investment costs.
Croatian authorities also plan to launch a €25 million appeal in the second quarter to co-finance solar power plants and heat pumps in the public sector. A separate call for end users is expected in the first half of the year.
The Croatian Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund (FZOEU) will oversee the distribution of €125 million across nine public calls in 2025.
The MZOZT will manage 23 public calls this year for a total amount of €526.8 million. The main tenders include an €80 million call for the production of renewable electricity for water and waste companies, scheduled for the first quarter of 2025, and a further €80 million for the decarbonization and modernization of district heating systems, scheduled for the fourth quarter from 2025.
Together, the two agencies will distribute a total of 652 million euros in grants throughout the year, according to the plan.
Croatian energy market operator HROTE organized a tender for renewable energy in June 2024 to secure market premium support for 607 MW of renewable energy sources, including 450 MW of solar energy. It ended up allocating 413.5 MW of solar energy with an average price of $0.065/kWh.
