Power Plants in Croatia

Croatia has 22 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 88th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 12 operating and 9 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 3.0 GW across 12 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Zakučac hydroelectric plant (538 MW).

The largest owner-operators are HEP Generation Ltd (5), Hrvatska elektroprivreda dd (4) and HEP-Proizvodnja doo (3) — HEP Generation Ltd alone is named on 23% of them. Half of Croatia's power plants in service predate 1984 (median commissioning year of the 12 with a known date), 4 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Zakučac hydroelectric plant, dating from 1961. 9 are in the pipeline, led by Blaca Pumped Storage hydroelectric plant (498 MW), proposed.
