On the basis of the licence issued by the
Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA), next to the legally
binding tasks of operation of the Croatian power system,
transmission of electricity, maintenance, development and
construction of the high voltage transmission network objects of
400, 220 and 110 kV voltage levels, HOPS is
upgrading the support to the development and functioning of the
Croatian electricity market, taking into account its integration
with EU internal electricity market and those of Energy Community
Contracting Parties.
The Croatian transmission network is one of
the strongest cross-border interconnected transmission networks in
Europe with over 30 interconnected lines with neighbouring
electricity transmission system operators at all transmission
voltage levels. It represents a strong "bridge" between Central
East and South East Europe.
Upon performing significant investment into
the construction of interconnected cross-border capacities in the
last 15 years, today's emphasis of HOPS's development activities
are directed towards strengthening the elements of internal
transmission network which will effectively increase available
cross-border capacities for the allocation to the market
participants.
