In November 2025, Croatia’s net electricity production totaled 1,256 GWh, reflecting a minor decline of 0.6% compared to the 1,264 GWh generated in the same month of the previous year. This slight reduction underscores ongoing fluctuations in the country’s energy output amid evolving market dynamics.
The breakdown of electricity generation reveals that hydropower plants were the leading contributors, generating 480 GWh, which accounts for 38.2% of total production. Meanwhile, thermal power plants produced 349 GWh (27.8%), and wind farms contributed 308 GWh (24.5%). Solar energy played a smaller role, with 48 GWh, representing 3.8% of the overall output.
The import-export balance for electricity showed an increase in imports to 1,075 GWh, marking a rise of 6.8% from 1,007 GWh in November 2024. Exports also saw an upward trend, climbing to 722 GWh, which is a growth of 5.4% compared to last year’s figure of 685 GWh.
Turning to hydrocarbon production, Croatia experienced a notable decrease in natural gas output, producing only 61 million cubic meters, down by 10.3%. In contrast, natural gas imports surged significantly to 283 million cubic meters, reflecting an increase of 58.1%. Crude oil production also faced challenges, with output at 39,000 tons, a decline of 2.5%. Additionally, petroleum product output fell to 283,000 tons, down from last year’s total of 302,000 tons.
This data highlights the complexities within Croatia’s energy landscape as it navigates production challenges while adapting to rising import demands and fluctuating export levels. The shifts in both electricity and hydrocarbon sectors are critical for stakeholders as they assess future strategies and operational adjustments in response to market conditions.
