In November 2025, Croatia’s net electricity production was recorded at 1,256 GWh, reflecting a minor decline of 0.6% from 1,264 GWh during the same month in 2024. This slight decrease comes amidst fluctuations in various energy sources contributing to the national grid.
The breakdown of electricity generation for the month shows that hydropower plants were the largest contributors, generating 480 GWh, which constitutes 38.2% of total production. Following hydropower, thermal power plants produced 349 GWh, accounting for 27.8%. Meanwhile, winds farms added 308 GWh, representing 24.5%, and solar power plants contributed a modest 48 GWh, or 3.8%.
The dynamics of electricity trade in Croatia also showed notable changes; imports increased to 1,075 GWh, marking a rise of 6.8%, up from 1,007 GWh in November 2024. Conversely, exports grew to 722 GWh, which is an increase of 5.4%, compared to last year’s figure of 685 GWh.
<pOn the hydrocarbon front, Croatia's natural gas production experienced a significant downturn, with outputs at 61 million cubic meters, declining by 10.3%. In contrast, natural gas imports surged dramatically to reach 283 million cubic meters, an increase of 58.1%. Crude oil production also faced challenges, totaling only 39,000 tons, down by 2.5%. Additionally, the output of petroleum products fell to 283,000 tons, down from the previous year’s output of 302,000 tons.
This data underscores ongoing trends in Croatia’s energy landscape as it navigates shifts in both renewable and conventional energy production while adapting to changing market demands and regulatory frameworks.
