Sažetak
After years of utilising fossil fuels, the global scenario is in recent times changing and renewable energy sources are being increasingly considered as one of the key elements of future development strategies on a national, regional and local level. This paper describes the work that has been undertaken in the Karlovac county (west of Croatia) where there are considerable possibilities for the utilisation of different renewable energy sources. This approach is radically different to the previous 'top-down' or strategic assessments as seen many times in the past and is expected to herald a new future for local, community ownership and 'buy-in' to renewable energy resulting in the greater probability of individual project success providing local stakeholder sympathy is retained. This work represents the proposal of the Regional strategy for utilisation of renewable energy sources in the Karlovac county area. This study, a first of its kind in Croatia contains a survey and review of existing experience and projects utilising renewable energy sources in the Karlovac county ; review of strategic documents of the Republic of Croatia and relevant directives of the European Commission in the field of renewable energy sources utilisation ; setting the targets for renewable energy sources utilisation in the Karlovac county ; identification of possible projects ; proposal of organisational and implementation measures for the renewable energy action plan within the county. The current situation and existing experience regarding renewable energy sources utilisation within the county have been used as the starting point for the setting of future targets, whilst the energy potential of each renewable energy source (small hydro, biomass, geothermal) was also determined. At the end, recommendations regarding organisational measures for the implementation of renewable energy projects have been presented, which include public and experts education, necessary planning and strategic documents, domestic and international cooperation and the setting up of a regional energy agency as the implementing body for renewable energy projects.
