Wpd, a renewable energy company, is planning to build a hybrid power plant in Croatia that will increase its output without placing an additional burden on the grid. The project aims to combine wind and solar energy sources, maximizing the generation potential and improving overall efficiency. By integrating both technologies, the power plant will be able to provide a more stable and reliable power supply, contributing to the country's renewable energy goals. The hybrid power plant is expected to enhance Croatia's energy transition and reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuel-based electricity generation.
Thanks to an advanced management system, the upcoming hybrid power plant in Katuni, Croatia, will combine a new 30 MW solar power plant with an existing 34.2 MW wind farm, enabling a maximum power delivery of 39 MW to the grid. With an annual output of approximately 80 GWh from the wind farm and an additional 45 GWh from the solar power plant, the hybrid facility will have enough production capacity to meet the average annual energy needs of over 35,000 households. The project, valued at EUR 30 million, has already received environmental approval and aims to obtain a building permit this year, with plans to start operations in 2024.
