Croatia got the green light from Brussels for a EUR 19.8 million grant to IE-Energy for a massive energy storage project.
According to point 382(d) of the CEEAG, for support to electricity storage facilities, the Commission will in particular assess the risks of distortion of competition which may arise in related services markets as well as on other energy markets. The Commission notes that battery storage facilities have not yet been installed in Croatia.
Croatia is preparing to build Eastern Europe’s largest energy storage project. IE Energy has secured €19.8 million ($20.9 million) to develop a 50 MW storage system, potentially extendable to 110 MW by 2024.
In addition, it will accelerate the decarbonization of the Croatian energy sector, according to the announcement. IE-Energy is based in Rijeka, Croatia’s fourth-largest city. It joined the intraday and day-ahead markets at the Croatian Power Exchange (CROPEX) last year. Documents reveal the project is scheduled to start on December 1.
The Croatian Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development said the goal is for companies to produce energy for self-consumption, which should bring down energy costs. Companies can secure between €100,000 and €2 million per project. Developers can apply for multiple projects, with the maximum amount per single applicant capped at €4 million.
“There is immense scope for energy storage in Croatia, predominantly for battery storage.” GlobalData says that Croatia is now on target to meet its 36.4% renewable energy target by 2030. However, its recent investment in energy storage has not been accompanied by rapid solar PV development.
