ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION
The Government’s Conclusion announces the implementation of the following generating plants:
- a combined-cycle cogeneration unit fired by natural gas at Sisak TPP (230 MWe, 50 MWt);
- a 500 MW coal-fired replacement unit at Plomin TPP;
- multi-purpose hydropower plant on the Sava (120 MW, expected annual production 600 GWh);
- Ombla hydropower plant (68 MW, expected annual production 223 GWh);
- hydropower system of the Lika and the Gacka (Kosinj reservoir, Kosinj HPP, Senj 2 HPP –additional 400 MW
and 450 GWh);
- two natural flow hydropower plants of 50 MW each on the Drava (Molve 1 and Molve 2).
Among the investment projects of interest for the Republic of Croatia, there is also Dubrovnik II HPP as well as
renewable energy sources.
To finance the construction of Ombla HPP, HEP intends to secure funding from an international financial institution
while the replacement unit at Plomin TPP is currently in the phase of obtaining the siting permit and of
preparing for selection of partners for the project implementation.
In 2010, the construction of Lešće HPP (42 MW) was completed and the construction of a new unit at Sisak
TPP continued.
In the area of renewable electricity sources, HEP is developing the wind power project Krš Pađene (100 MW),
expected to be put into service in 2013, and a biomass power project, Velika Gorica, of 20 MWe and 35 MWt (also
on the list of investment projects of interest for Croatia).
In addition to construction of new generating plants, replacement of equipment, reconstruction and refurbishment
work on existing plants has been continuously carried out, the most extensive of which is the refurbishment
of Zakučac HPP.
ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
The Government’s Conclusion prioritizes construction of electricity transmission and distribution projects:
- Dubrovnik Program (TS 220/110/35/20(10) kV Plat with associate power lines and TS 110/10(20) kV Srđ
with associated power lines);
- electricity system control function;
- Program Rijeka – stage 2 (TS 110/20 kV Turnić, TS 220/110 kV Pehlin – replacement plant 110 kV, 2x110 kV
Pehlin-Turnić cable, 110 kV Pehlin-Zamet-Turnić cable, 110 kV Turnić-Sušak cable);
- 2x110 kV Vinodol-Melina line; replacement of power lines in the Zagreb area (2x110 kV Rakitje-Botinec line
and 2x110 kV Samobor-Rakitje line).
The construction of a double-circuit 400 kV transmission line toward Hungary, Ernestinovo-Pecs, was completed in
2010 and a state-of-the-art information system was introduced which supports all functions necessary for the proper
functioning of the electricity market. In December 2010, construction began of TS Plat with associated power lines,
as part of the Dubrovnik Program which is scheduled for completion in 2013.
It is planned to step up the modernization and construction of a new distribution network in order to meet the
growing needs for electricity and for connection of new customers, especially in major cities, tourist and industrial
zones.
GAS BUSINESS
The long-term business policy of HEP is to participate in the gas business at several levels.
The activities of natural gas distribution and supply have been continuously developed. Based on a concession
right to build a gas network and to supply gas to customers for a period of 30 years, gas network expansion started
in 2010 in the area of Slavonia and Baranja has continued into 2011.
Preparations are underway for an active participation in the development and construction of a LNG terminal
on the Adriatic coast of Croatia as a significant alternative supply route.
DISTRICT HEATING
The refurbishment project of the heating networks of Zagreb and Osijek has been completed. It is planned to expand
the district heating business in Sisak by building a new unit at Sisak TPP, which is in progress. In 2010, preparation of
a number of projects to refurbish and build district heating systems in Zagreb and Velika Gorica continued.
OTHER
There is a project underway to introduce e-mobility, which represents a business leap into the future and the formation
of a new customer base.
