In the context of accelerated decarbonization, the Croatian electricity system is facing an increasingly significant challenge: how to align the growth of generation from variable renewable energy sources with the limitations of the existing grid. In practice, this is reflected in difficulties connecting new facilities due to limited grid capacity, the need for additional investments in the grid, and the growing need for system flexibility.

As a new corporate member of the XEnergy network, the Auto Hrvatska Business Group brings a strong contribution to the development of sustainable mobility and the green transition in the region. As a market leader with many years of experience, the company actively follows and implements ESG principles through the modernization of its portfolio, with a special focus on e-mobility, innovative mobility solutions, and reducing emissions in the transport sector. Their role in transforming the automotive industry toward more sustainable mobility models makes them an important partner in building a low-carbon future.

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.

We are delighted to introduce four new corporate members: HEP Group, our largest electric power company without which the energy transition in Croatia and the region would not be possible; the Hydrocarbon Agency (AZU); Elektroprivreda BiH (EPBiH); and the Auto Hrvatska Business Group.

With the final presentation of completed projects, the ceremonial presentation of certificates to participants for successfully completing their student internship, and a closing gathering, the second cycle of our Internship Program, carried out in cooperation with ENNA Group, came to an end.

We introduce our new corporate member – the HEP Group, the largest power utility in Croatia, without which the energy transition in Croatia and the region would not be possible.

The Hydrocarbons Agency was established in 2014 as an operational body of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, with the goal of initiating and activating new exploration and production of hydrocarbons in the Republic of Croatia.

At the ceremonial XENa Award – Woman of the Year in Energy 2025, held under the patronage of the Ministry of Economy, more than 200 guests gathered to recognize the expertise, dedication, and leadership of women driving the energy transition.

We are especially pleased that JP EPBiH, the largest power utility company in Bosnia and Herzegovina, has joined our network. As a key player in the electricity market, EPBiH plays a significant role in the regional energy system. The core activities of JP Elektroprivreda BiH d.d. – Sarajevo include electricity generation, electricity distribution, supply, and electricity trading.
