Croatia’s electricity provider Hrvatska elektroprivreda (HEP) will invest 100 million euros in four solar power plants by 2023. The total new capacity will be 11.6 MW.
The construction of the first plant, in Vis, will begin later this month while the second project in Vrlika Jug, will be built in the second half of 2019.
