The Croatian government has prepared 500 million euros to install batteries for storing energy produced from renewable sources. Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Damir Habijan stated that Croatia is ready for energy changes.
[pdf] The battery system will have a discharge capacity of 38 MW and a storage capacity of up to 70.8 MWh, designed to operate for around twenty years. An environmental assessment is required because the investor, the local company Funicula, plans to develop the site as a standalone solar power plant.
[pdf] The main aim of this study is to explore the factors influencing the economic viability of investing in photovoltaic systems, including initial investments, return on investment, access to financing, infrastructure availability, maintenance costs, system reliability, price competitiveness of output, and the legislative framework in Croatia.
