Croatia’s net electricity production in April 2026 totaled 1,003 GWh, marking a decline of 17% year-on-year compared to 1,209 GWh recorded in April of the previous year, according to short-term energy statistics published by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics.
In terms of the production mix, hydropower plants generated 400 GWh (39.9%), while thermal power plants produced 76 GWh (7.6%). Wind farms contributed 300 GWh (29.9%), and solar power plants generated 154 GWh (15.4%) of total electricity output, highlighting the continued strong role of renewables in Croatia’s generation structure.
During the same period, Croatia imported 1,136 GWh of electricity, which is 21.4% higher compared to April 2025 (936 GWh). At the same time, electricity exports fell to 679 GWh, representing a 5% decrease year-on-year compared to 715 GWh in April 2024, indicating a widening net import position.
In the hydrocarbons segment, natural gas production reached 58 million cubic meters in April 2025, an increase of 1.8% year-on-year. Meanwhile, natural gas imports rose to 183 million cubic meters, up 7.6% compared to April 2025, reflecting growing external dependence for supply.
Crude oil production remained stable at 38,000 tons, unchanged compared to the previous year. In contrast, petroleum product output increased to 310,000 tons in April 2025, up from 290,000 tons in the same month last year, indicating a moderate rise in refining activity.
