At the meeting of the Board of Commissioners of Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA), Cropex was designated as a nominated electricity market operator (NEMO) for a period of four years. In accordance with European Commission’s regulation on capacity allocation and congestion management (CACM), each member state electrically connected to a bidding zone in another member state shall ensure that one or more nominated electricity market operators are designated.
