Will Croatia build Europe's largest energy storage project?
Croatia is preparing to build Eastern Europe’s largest energy storage project. IE Energy has secured €19.8 million ($20.9 million) to develop a 50 MW storage system, potentially extendable to 110 MW by 2024.
How can Croatia become energy-independent and sustainable?
In order to become energy-independent and sustainable, Croatia counts on its abundant renewable energy resources. In February 2020, the Croatian government adopted a new Energy Strategy for the period until 2030, with an outlook through 2050.
How much solar power does Croatia have in 2023?
Croatia’s Renewable Energy Sources Association announced that Croatia grew its installed solar plant capacity from 224 MW to 305.8 MW in the first six months of 2023 alone.
Why should Croatia invest in pumped storage hydropower?
With projects like green hydrogen and geothermal development, we aim for 42.5% renewables by 2030. To manage intermittency sustainably, investment in pumped storage hydropower is crucial, and Croatia has strong potential in this area. Our efforts show that economic growth and environmental responsibility can coexist.
Is Croatia ready for solar energy storage?
“There is immense scope for energy storage in Croatia, predominantly for battery storage.” GlobalData says that Croatia is now on target to meet its 36.4% renewable energy target by 2030. However, its recent investment in energy storage has not been accompanied by rapid solar PV development.
How much ie-energy aid will Croatia get?
The European Commission has approved €19.8 million (US$20.1 million) in state aid from the government of Croatia to energy storage operator IE-Energy for a series of grid-connected projects. The aid will be a direct grant to IE-Energy and will cover approximately 30% of capital expenditures for a series of grid-scale battery energy storage systems.
