Maximal Photovoltaic Project Development in Croatia

This document is a project factsheet detailing the Maximal Photovoltaic for Croatia (PV MAX) initiative, which is supported by the European Investment Bank through the ELENA program. The project aims to implement a Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Investment Programme in Croatia, focusing on building integrated photovoltaic systems across various types of buildings. The factsheet outlines the roles of the North-West Croatia Regional Energy Agency (REGEA) and its team, which includes technical and legal experts who provided support through feasibility studies and project development services. The document describes the investment programme's components, including the development of a web-based One-Stop-Shop for homeowners and the screening of public and commercial buildings to identify suitable candidates for photovoltaic installations. It also discusses the expected outcomes, such as energy savings, renewable energy generation, and CO2 reductions, while noting the challenges faced during implementation, including regulatory changes and market conditions. The lessons learned emphasize the importance of technical support and local partnerships in achieving project goals.
