ACCIONA Energia to build Croatia’s largest PV plant

ACCIONA Energia has been awarded a 12-year “Contract for Difference” (CfD) by the Croatian energy market operator, Hrvatski Operator Trzista Energije (HROTE), for the photovoltaic plant Promina (189 MWp), currently under development. Promina will be built in the Sibenik-Knin county in southern Croatia and will be the largest solar plant in the country upon commissioning in 2027. It will have more than 300 000 photovoltaic modules that will produce 320 GWh, enough to meet the energy needs of 69 000 households, which will reduce CO2 emissions by 140 000 tonnes a year.

The CfD was assigned through a competitive tender and is part of a support scheme drawn up by the Croatian government and HROTE. The scheme was approved by the European Commission to accelerate the production of renewable electricity and contribute to the European Union’s decarbonization targets.
