Iberdrola inaugurates 496-MW Saint-Brieuc wind farm offshore France
Sep 19, 2024 16:25 CESTThe combined installed capacity of grid-connected power generation facilities in Croatia using renewable energy sources (RES) rose to 172,981 kilowatts (kW) at the end of 2012 from 108,320 kW at the beginning of the year, the economy ministry said on Tuesday.
The quota for new photovoltaic capacity was set at 15 megawatts (MW) in 2012 - including 10 MW for building-integrated capacity and 5.0 MW for non-integrated, and the non-integrated quota was maxed out by mid-October, the ministry said in a statement issued after a media briefing held in Zagreb.
The quota for new photovoltaic capacity for this year was set at 25 MW in late October - including 15 MW for building-integrated capacity and 10 MW for non-integrated, and by December 31, based on the filed requests for the purchase of electricity, the integrated quota had already been filled, the statement said.
Croatia expects that it should reach 45 MW of installed solar power capacity by July 1, 2014, much earlier than its 2020 target year.
