Renewable Electricity in Croatia and Slovenia from the Aspect of the EU Energy and Climate Targets for 2020
Analyses show that in the EU the share of the renewable electricity could be around 35 percent in 2020. In this paper we focus on Croatia and Slovenia, the former becoming the 28th member state of the EU on July 1, 2013 and the latter being EU member state since 2004. The aim of our paper is to analyse how Croatia and Slovenia use different renewable sources in their electricity generation and to evaluate the extent at which both countries are achieving and/or will be able to achieve their 2020 targets in this field. In the recent years Croatia has made great movements in the use of wind power, which currently has the largest share of electricity generation from RES. Biomass and hydropower energy are used in equal proportion whereat biomass has great potential to become the most important RES by 2020. Further expansion of existing generating capacity, particularly a large using of solar energy, it is expected that Croatia could achieve the set target for 2020. We establish that favourable natural conditions and efficient energy policy measures allowed Slovenia to make notable progress in the usage of solar power, biomass and biogass in electricity generation, while large unused potentials remain for the usage of wind power and some for hydro power on the Sava river. We argue that these available RES potentials make Slovenia able to reach and perhaps even surpass the 2020 target.
