Following a memorandum of understanding with Croatia’s Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development from January, Head of the European Investment Bank’s Office in Zagreb Anton Kovačev revealed a contract would soon be signed for financing solar power plants. He told national broadcaster HRT the EIB wants to help the government, state-owned electricity producer Hrvatska elektroprivreda (HEP Group) and other companies to “think green.”

They should look for renewable energy sources and invest in them, Kovačev asserted, Igor Todorović writes in an article for Balkan Green Energy News.

– We need to promote energy efficiency and work on it so that we pollute the environment as little as possible while being the most efficient that we can – he said and added a seminar would soon be held for everyone who is interested in green investments.

The EIB’s official noted the lender, owned by the European Union’s member states, already has projects in the country for energy efficiency and renewables such as waste incinerators and wind power plants.

The bank said on the occasion of the signing of the memorandum that together with the government it would tap on funds from the European Green Deal including the Just Transition Fund. The EIB will work with Croatia on the implementation of the country’s Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan and National Recovery and Resilience Plan, according to the statement.
