The first Croatian energy community, “Sava,” has been officially established! This pioneering initiative marks a new era for citizen-led energy in the country and sets a powerful example for the region.
What is an energy community? Energy communities empower citizens, local authorities, and organisations to produce, share, and manage renewable energy jointly. They are a key driver for a fair, democratic, and sustainable energy transition—putting people at the centre of the green transformation.
Why is “Sava” important?
- It’s the first formal energy community in Croatia, paving the way for others to follow.
- It demonstrates how local collaboration can accelerate the adoption of renewables and energy efficiency.
- “Sava” will enable its members to benefit from shared solar energy, lower energy bills, and increased energy independence.
- The initiative supports EU climate goals and the Clean Energy for All Europeans package.
What’s next? The establishment of “Sava” is just the beginning. With the right support and regulatory framework, more communities across Croatia and the Western Balkans can follow this example—unlocking new opportunities for local development, green jobs, and climate resilience.
Congratulations to everyone involved in making “Sava” a reality! Let’s keep building a citizen-powered energy future for Croatia and Europe.
