The Croatian Energy Market Operator (HROTE) has launched a procedure for granting feed-in tariffs for electricity generated from renewable energy sources.

The guaranteed purchase or feed-in tariffs price would be awarded to developers of small solar power and hydropower projects, according to the public call, published by the Croatian Energy Market Operator (HROTE).

The subsidy allocation process consists of two phases. HROTE issued the rules and a public call for qualifications for participation in the public tender for feed-in tariffs. Afterward, the regulatory body is slated to launch a call for bids.

The quota for photovoltaic plants with capacities between 50 kW and 200 kW each is 10,000 kW while the feed-in tariff can’t exceed EUR 84.66 per MWh.

Tender participants will bid for a guaranteed purchase price for hydropower projects of a maximum EUR 165.12 per MWh

The maximum guaranteed purchase price for hydropower plants with an individual capacity of 50 kW to 200 kW is EUR 165.12 per MWh. The quota in the segment amounts to 1,000 kW.

Eligible to apply are developers of projects for new facilities. Bids are allowed for PV plants on existing buildings.

The first phase of the process lasts until November 14

End consumers with their own power production and users of power plants for self-supply cannot apply for feed-in tariffs, according to the public call.

The first phase of the process lasts until November 14, after which HROTE is due to launch a call for bids. The deadline for submissions would be 15 days.

Under a previous public call this year, HROTE has awarded premiums for solar and hydropower plants with a total capacity of 420 MW.
