ON DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF CROATIA'S POWER INDUSTRY
Branimir Molak
Abstract
The author holds that there is no development strategy of power industry in Croatia. The document published under the title “Development Strategy of Power Industry” is not a strategy. The author believs that in this document some assertions were made without any reference to reality.
On a number of data and analyses it has been shown that the predictions about the use of energy and meeting the needs for it are unrealistic. A lack of an appropriate strategy concerning power industry in Croatia has resulted in too high prices of energy. The price of electric energy for households is in relation with the populations' buying power twice as high as in some European countries, and the price of gas three times. The author concludes that – considering the existing “strategy” – the prices of energy will rise in the period to come.
