Croatia
HRVWind overtook gas on Croatia's grid in 2025.
Today wind supplies 21% and gas 19%.
What this grid depends on
Three measures that say more about a country than how much power it makes. Open “what this means” on any of them if the term is new.
Cleaner than 8 in 10 grids worldwide.
What this means
How much planet-warming gas is released to make one unit of electricity. Two countries can generate exactly the same amount and one of them be ten times dirtier doing it. Lower is better.
Croatia depends heavily on its neighbours for power.
What this means
The share of the electricity used here that was generated abroad and carried in over high-voltage lines. The higher it climbs, the more this country relies on a neighbour to keep its lights on.
More of its fuel is bought in than produced at home.
What this means
How much of what this grid runs on the country can supply itself. Sun, wind and water count fully, because nobody can cut them off; coal, gas and oil only as far as the country digs them up. A high score is not the same as a good grid: mining your own coal scores well, importing uranium scores badly.
Also true of Croatia
Croatia has taken the carbon out of its electricity fast.
275 grams of CO2e a kilowatt-hour in 2015, 159 in 2025.
Croatia has no dominant fuel at all.
Its largest single source supplies just 39% of the grid.
Croatia brings in 27% of the electricity it uses.
Its own power stations cover the rest.

Figures are for 2025, the most recent year reported for Croatia. Generation shares are a percentage of electricity generated, not of energy used. How this is calculated.
