Description

Construction of a combined cycle gas turbine, heat and electricity cogeneration plant to replace obsolete, mostly oil-fired, environmentally non-compliant heat-generation assets in Zagreb

Objectifs

The project will ensure reliable heat supply to the district heating network in Zagreb, improve the security of electricity supply in Croatia, increase competition on the Croatian electricity market and, thanks to the use of gas (replacing heavy fuel oil) and highly efficient cogeneration, decrease pollution levels and contribute to reaching efficiency targets. The project will be implemented in a less developed region as defined by the Commission Implementing Decision 2014/99/EU. The programme is therefore eligible under Article 309 a) Projects for developing less-developed regions, and c) Common Interest of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
