Croatia''s Largest Solar Power Plant Set to Power 100,000 Homes
On the sun-drenched plains near Benkovac in Zadar County, a transformative project is taking shape. Croatia''s largest solar power plant, SE Korlat, is set to redefine the
At the end of 2022, the total available power of power plants on the territory of the Republic of Croatia was 4,946.8 MW, of which 1,534.6 MW in thermal power plants, 2,203.4 MW in hydropower plants, 986.9 MW in wind power plants and 222.0 MW in solar power plants.
Solar PV capacity accounted for 11.0% of total power plant installations globally in 2021, according to GlobalData, with total recorded solar PV capacity of 894GW. This is expected to contribute 26.1% by the end of 2030 with capacity of installations aggregating up to 3,206GW. Of the total global solar PV capacity, 0.01% is in Croatia.
There are no nuclear power plants in the Republic of Croatia, but in the 1980s the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia constructed the Krško nuclear power plant (Krško NPP) on the Slovenian territory. Presently, both states share the nuclear liability and the ownership of the Krško NPP.
The Croatian government has set an ambitious target to reach 2.5 GW of installed solar capacity by 2030, a goal that would significantly contribute to the country's renewable energy mix. This target also aligns with the European Union's broader objective of increasing the share of renewables in electricity generation.
