Croatia: Energy production and trade in March 2025 shows mixed trends

According to short-term energy statistics released by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, Croatia’s net electricity production in March 2025 totaled 1,451 GWh. This represents a slight decrease of 0.4 percent compared to the same month last year, when production amounted to 1,457 GWh.

Hydropower plants were the largest contributors to electricity generation, producing 739 GWh, which accounted for 50.9 percent of total production. Wind farms followed with 333 GWh or 22.9 percent, while thermal power plants generated 225 GWh or 15.5 percent. Solar power plants contributed 73 GWh, making up 5 percent of the total electricity produced.

In terms of electricity trade, Croatia imported 950 GWh in March 2025, which is an increase of 14.7 percent compared to 828 GWh in March 2024. On the other hand, electricity exports slightly declined, totaling 783 GWh—0.3 percent less than the 785 GWh exported in the same month last year.

Hydrocarbon production also saw varying results. Natural gas production reached 59 million cubic meters, showing a 3.5 percent increase compared to the same period last year. However, natural gas imports dropped significantly to 190 million cubic meters, marking a 29 percent decrease from March 2024.

Crude oil production experienced a decline, with 39,000 tons produced—7.1 percent less than the previous year. In contrast, petroleum product output surged to 276,000 tons in March 2025, a significant jump from just 7,000 tons in March 2024, when the Rijeka refinery was undergoing a turnaround.

Overall, the data reflects stable electricity generation with a growing reliance on renewable sources, a notable increase in electricity imports, and substantial recovery in petroleum product output following refinery maintenance activities.
