Presenting the projects at a news conference on Wednesday, HEP
director Ivo Covic said investments in the transmission grid were
important for increasing the security and stability of power
supply.
Other investments refer to the reconstruction of the distribution
network in the entire country and investments in production
facilities as well as the modernisation of existing facilities and
preparations for the construction of new ones. This includes the
reconstruction of the Peruca and Zakucac water power plants (worth
around 90 million kuna), reconstruction works in a number of
thermal power plants and preparations for the reconstruction of the
water power plants Senj and Dubrovnik.
Many of these investments are important for the operation of the
power market in South-East Europe.
