Sažetak
Energy Strategy is main document with the purpose to define energy policy and future plans for energy development of the Republic of Croatia till 2020. Based on the adopted strategy the Government will create the Energy Strategy Implementation Programme for the four-year period. Croatia’s energy development should be based on best available technologies as well as on energy-related, economic and environmental assessment of all available energy options. Energy strategy of Croatia (NN 130/09) puts up next goals: 300 MW hydro power plants (>10 MW), 1200 MW gas-fired thermal power plants (including 300 MW of cogeneration), 1200 MW of coal-fired thermal power plants, and 35% of renewables (including hydro). Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions have become a priority development issue. The main challenge is a long-term development with decreased emission of carbon dioxide. Kyoto protocol obligations, Copenhagen Accord and EU emission trading scheme are setting development goals regarding CO2. In 2013-2020 (EU ETS III) all thermal power plants should buy 100% emission allowances on auction. Implementing Croatian energy strategy, power sector will need extra 7, 5-8, 5 mil t of CO2 for 2020 (consumtion 28 TWh) in comparison with 2005 (consumtion 17 TWh) or in total 12-13 mil t CO2. with presumed price of 40 €/t CO2 Croatian power sector will have extra cost of around 500 mil € annualy. Minimum 50% of those fund necesary for buying 4, 5 mil t will be some national fund and half of the rest of fund till 12 mil t will be fund of some EU Member State. If we are not able to buy extra emission, we will need to import the electricity. In very conservative scenario we can presume that Croatia will not be able to import the electricity and than we need to include costs of VOLL which are minimaly 4€/kWh.
