CROPEX was established on 11 March 2016, in partnership with Nord Pool, which is recognized as Europe’s leading electricity exchange. The platform is co-owned by the Croatian electricity transmission system operator (HOPS) and the Croatian electricity market operator (HROTE). The intraday market commenced operations in April 2017. A significant milestone occurred on 19 June 2018, when CROPEX’s day-ahead market successfully coupled with the MRC markets across the Croatian–Slovenian border, following collaborative efforts between Croatian and Slovenian transmission system operators and power exchanges.
