Summary
The government of Croatia has presented its tenth package of energy measures for households installing solar, batteries and heat pumps.
According to the government’s website, €40 million ($46.2 million) will go towards supporting households installing renewable energy systems in order to reduce household dependence on fossil fuels and increase energy self-sufficiency.
The package will both co-finance new installations and offer support for replacing outdated heating systems, with the maximum support available equal to up to 50% of the investment, increasing to 70% for a household at risk of energy poverty. The support mechanism is expected to support around 15,000 applications.
Croatia’s latest energy package has a total investment of €450 million and is led by a commitment to capping fuel prices and maintaining electricity prices for households, alongside the public and non-profit sectors, until Sept. 30, 2026. The government had originally decided to gradually abandon existing price subsidies for electricity and gas from April 1 but has now decided to extend the measure.
Other agreed investments include €50 million to compensate for indirect CO2 costs and €80 million to decarbonize and modernize district heating and cooling.
