Solar and wind power, energy efficiency and industrial decarbonisation are opening up major investment opportunities in the Croatian energy sector, but they demand rigorous studies, secure financing and a firm grasp of the rules. RSM Croatia supports investors, developers and large energy users from the first idea and feasibility study to financing, construction and operation.
Challenges in the Croatian energy sector
Energy projects are capital-intensive and long-term, and their returns depend on prices, regulation and grid connection conditions.
- Viability and risk – a realistic assessment of renewable energy projects.
- Financing structure – closing the funding mix of equity, loans and grants.
- Acquiring projects – due diligence on development-stage projects or operating plants.
- Green finance – the criteria and documents lenders require for better terms.
- Energy costs – rising costs in industry and the public sector that make self-generation more attractive.
