Wind Power News & Analysis RSS Feed · last updated

The EU renewable energy division of Ukrainian utility DTEK is developing a second wind farm in Croatia. 

DTEK announced today (24 January) that its DRI renewable energy subsidiary would develop a 120MW onshore wind farm in Lika-Senj county in central Croatia.

DRI said it received a “preliminary access point” to the Croatian grid from the country’s transmissions systems operator Hops in November 2024, and filed for approval with Croatia’s economy ministry at the end of last year. Construction is expected to start in 2027. 

The latest project will be DRI’s second wind farm in Croatia. The firm is currently developing the Brda Umovi wind farm in Split, Dalmatia county, which comprises a 127.5MW first phase, and an additional 28.8MW second phase, with the first phase due to be connected in the second half of 2026.

DRI aims to install 5GW of renewable energy capacity across Europe by 2028 despite the ongoing war in Ukraine. It is active in taly, Poland and Romania, as well as Croatia, and appointed a new CEO earlier this month. 

Croatia has just over 1.3GW of operational onshore wind capacity, according to Windpower Intelligence, the research and data division of Windpower Monthly.
