Recommendations for Removing Regulatory and Administrative Barriers for Better Use of Renewable Energy Sources

Recommendations for Removing Regulatory and Administrative Barriers for Better Use of Renewable Energy Sources

This position by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) highlights key regulatory and administrative barriers hindering the efficient use of renewable energy sources (RES) in Croatia. It identifies challenges such as inconsistent spatial planning, complex and slow permitting processes, limitations in grid connection, and implementation gaps in legislation. Special attention is given to reforming distribution network rules, improving the EOTRP process, enhancing institutional coordination, and enabling the use of excess produced energy. The document provides concrete solutions and urges for more effective law enforcement, inclusion of diverse technologies, and access to grants for businesses transitioning to renewable energy.
