Electricity prices in Croatia

Croatia's electricity comes from hydropower on its Alpine and Dinaric rivers, gas-fired plants, wind farms along the coast, its share of the Krško nuclear plant co-owned with Slovenia, and imports. The retail market is liberalised, but the state utility HEP still supplies the large majority of households.

Bills are issued in euro following the country's adoption of the currency, and the regulator HERA approves network tariffs; the government has at times intervened to cap household prices. Two-rate metering with a cheaper night-time rate is standard. Gas and wood are the main heating fuels inland, while coastal homes often rely on reversible air-conditioning units for both heating and summer cooling. Rooftop solar has been growing from a low base.
