Croatia Plans Gas Interconnection with Serbia to Enhance Energy Security
Croatia plans to enhance its energy security by constructing a 15-kilometer gas interconnection with Serbia, granting access to the LNG terminal on Krk. Despite investing over four billion euros in renewable energy, the country's energy supply value has declined by 25% in the past decade. The U.S. Ambassador emphasized the terminal's significance in reducing reliance on Russian energy and fostering American partnerships, while discussions about a potential nuclear power plant by 2035 are also underway.

Croatia's Economy Minister Ante Šušnjar announced plans for a gas interconnection with Serbia, providing access to the LNG terminal on Krk. Approximately 15 kilometers of pipeline will be built. Croatia invested over four billion euros in renewable energy incentives, but the gross added value in energy supply has decreased by 25% over the last decade.
HEP President Vice Oršulić highlighted ongoing solar projects and the need for a strong HEP to ensure system stability. The U.S. Ambassador to Croatia, Nicole McGraw, noted the LNG terminal's role in reducing dependence on Russian energy and promoting partnerships with American companies. There are discussions regarding the potential construction of a nuclear power plant by 2035.
