Roughly a year after announcing its pilot solar project in Croatia’s Slavonia region, Janom Investments has advanced to the ready-to-build phase for a 30 MW photovoltaic plant. This marks the company’s first investment in Croatia and represents a key milestone in its strategy for regional growth. Construction is set to begin in August 2025, with grid connection expected in the second quarter of 2026. The project is receiving technical support from Croatian engineering firm Ekonerg throughout its development and construction.
A recent meeting in Klakar, Slavonia, brought together Janom Investments’ CEO Andrej Sršeň, CIO Radovan Šavolt, Ekonerg representative Boris Režek, and Klakar Mayor Tomislav Pendić to discuss the upcoming construction phase and long-term collaboration. Sršeň expressed pride in being part of one of Croatia’s largest solar power projects to date and acknowledged the strong backing from local authorities. “We appreciate the strong support from the Municipality of Klakar throughout the permitting process and will do our utmost to deliver this solar power plant to the grid by Q2 2026,” he said.
Mayor Tomislav Pendić emphasized the project’s alignment with Croatia’s environmental objectives. He noted that the plant will contribute to national decarbonization targets while also providing direct benefits to the local community through a long-term land lease, which will generate additional municipal revenue to support public services.
Janom Investments is simultaneously progressing with permits for a broader portfolio of solar and wind projects totaling over 200 MW in Croatia. In addition, the company plans to deploy its expertise in battery energy storage systems (BESS) to help enhance grid stability and resilience.
In a related move, Janom Investments reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable mobility just a month ago by participating in a new investment round for GreenWay, the e-mobility company it co-founded. The latest funding round was valued at over EUR 50 million.
