- INA is the sole oil and gas producer.
- The power mix is highly dependent on hydropower.
- Oil production is marginal and gas production is decreasing rapidly.
- Oil prices are close to the EU average.
- Residential electricity and gas prices are around 40% lower than the EU average.
- Energy consumption has been stable over 2017-2019.
- Renewables cover 25% of the energy consumption.
- HEP has started to modernise its power generation fleet with up-to-date technologies.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development oversees the energy policy through the Energy Directorate, along with environment and climate change matters. It replaced the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Energy in July 2020.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
In 2013, HEP (100% State owned) was split into five entities dealing with electricity generation, transmission, distribution, supply, and trade.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Gas production fell by 8%/year between its peak level of 2.9 bcm in 2007 and 1 bcm in 2019, due to the depletion of onshore gas fields, and dropped by 17% to 0.8 bcm in 2020. According to preliminary estimates, it dipped by 12% in 2021. MOL started gas production at two of its fields, Vučkovec and Zebanec (Međimurje project) in 2016; a third field, Vukanovec, started production in 2020.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices for households have averaged €13c/kWh since 2012. The price of electricity for industry has been increasing since 2016 (+4.1%/year until 2020). In 2019, the electricity price for the residential sector was 38% lower than the average EU price, while the price for industry was 10% below.
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is 2.1 toe, with electricity accounting for nearly 3 900 kWh (2020). These figures are 27% below the EU averages.

Issues & Prospects
According to its NECP (National Energy and Climate Plan), primary energy consumption and final energy consumption should decrease by 0.5%/year between 2019 and 2030 to 344 PJ (8.2 Mtoe) and 287 PJ (6.85 Mtoe), respectively.
