Croatia Total Energy Production & Consumption
Total energy consumption grew by 1.5% in 2024 to 8.8 Mtoe after a 3.2% decrease in 2022 and a 3.9% rebound in 2023. It declined by almost 1%/year on average between 2010 and 2019 and was back to its 2019 level in 2023.
Total energy consumption per capita reached 2.3 toe in 2024, which is 18% below the EU average.

Croatia Coal and Lignite Production & Consumption
All the coal is imported (0.3 Mt in 2024, half its 2023 level) as Croatia stopped producing coal in 1997. Coal consumption halved from 2010 to 2018 and has been averaging 0.6-0.7 Mt since then (0.6 Mt in 2023), depending on hydropower availability, and even falling by 1/3 in 2024 to 0.4 Mt. Previously, coal consumption had more than tripled between 1999 and 2004 following the commissioning of the 210 MW Plomin-2 power plant and remained broadly stable at around 1.1 Mt/year until 2016; it fell by 40% in 2017 after a fire at Plomin-1, where operations have been suspended.

Croatia Renewable in % Electricity Production
The final updated NECP (2025) raised the 2030 target for the share of renewables in the final energy consumption to 42.5%, including 76.7% for electricity, 47.1% for heating and cooling, and 24.6% in transport. It should reach 53-65% in 2050 (Energy Development Strategy, 2020). In 2023, renewables covered 28% of final energy consumption, including 59% for electricity, 36% for heating and cooling and 0.9% in transport. The 2020 target of the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP, 2013) for a share of 20% of renewables was largely exceeded (by 11 points).

Croatia GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In its final updated NECP, Croatia aims to cut its GHG emissions by 62% in 2030 (compared with 2005 level) in ETS sectors and by 16.7% in non-ETS sectors (up from 43% and 7%, respectively, in the initial NECP). For the LULUCF sector, it targets a net removal of 5.5 MtCO2eq in 2030 (compared to 2005).
