Abstract
Today, economies operate in the terms caused by inevitably consequences of recession.
Impacts of recession spread out from one economic sector into other, and also the economy
initiators, among which is electrical power sector. European Union and Republic of
Croatia were faced with diff erent barriers in their free market functioning of their electrical
power sectors. Croatia is passing through the period of opening of the energy market.
Knowledge of the terms of operating the energy market presents the important part of this
process. Presence of competition on the market gives the possibility to achieve acceptable
prices and terms of energy delivery. Countries that have already liberated their electrical
power sector have positive experiences which can be used during liberalization of Croatian
electrical power sector.
