The Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA), at the session of its Management Board held on 27 April 2026, adopted the long-awaited decision on the amount of the unit fee for connection to the electricity grid.

Now it’s your turn to cast your vote for the one you believe is the best.

With an outstanding response and a large number of high-quality applications, selecting the students who will participate in this year’s second XEnergy Internship Program, organized with our partner ENNA Group, was truly challenging. The program is designed to give students practical experience in the energy sector, develop their professional and personal skills, and increase their competitiveness in a rapidly evolving industry that impacts a sustainable future for all of us.

We are proud to announce the opening of the call for the XENA – Woman of the Year in Energy 2025 Award!

Our first internship program, organized in collaboration with our corporate partner, E.ON Croatia, has successfully concluded. Six female graduate students from technical and social sciences had the opportunity to experience real challenges in the dynamic energy industry over one month, guided by experienced mentors and working on concrete projects: from employee engagement, developing solar potential in Croatia, and market strategies for certain parts of E.ON’s business, to exploring green transition opportunities and helping shape solutions for waste management in the photovoltaic industry.

Another excellent round table is behind us. This time, we gathered top experts in the fields of cybersecurity and critical energy infrastructure at a discussion titled “Cybersecurity and Energy: New Challenges, New Solutions” held in Opatija.

At the ceremonial presentation of the XENA – Woman of the Year in Energy award, attended by over 170 guests, we honored women who are changing the industry and pushing boundaries with their work. The votes from the expert jury and the public were unanimous – this year’s winner of the XENA – Woman of the Year in Energy award is Sanela Carević from the KONČAR Group! 🔥

Another interesting event was organized in collaboration with the Croatian Society of Economists and the MBA EFZG Alumni Association, bringing together many of our members and friends. We had the pleasure of listening to Darko Tipurić, a member of the XEnergy Advisory Board and President of the Croatian Society of Economists. His lecture on An Economic Perspective on the Global Energy Future was both relevant and thought-provoking, drawing a lot of interest.

Another XEnergy training session was held, where participants learned about the latest updates on sustainable energy systems in buildings and explored a practical case study of how apartment co-owners can reach an agreement on developing a renewable energy generation project on a building rooftop, as well as the key challenges of sharing the produced electricity among co-owners.

XEnergy is organizing a new training on November 27th in Zagreb (Sky Office, Roberta Frangeša Mihanovića 9) on the topic “Sustainable Energy Systems in Buildings Solar Technologies and Energy Sharing in Practice.”

The internship program represents professional practice that enables students to gain experience and valuable insight into the functioning of a successful international energy company and participate in specific projects under the supervision of excellent mentors from E.ON.

On October 24, the Solarplaza Summit Balkans Solar & Storage conference will be held in Zagreb.
