The Transmission Area Split carries out the transmission activity in the area of five counties: Lika-Senj, Zadar, Šibenik-Knin, Split-Dalmatia and Dubrovnik counties. The distribution areas in these counties are: Elektrolika Gospić, Elektra Zadar, Elektra Šibenik, Elektrodalmacija Split and Elektrojug Dubrovnik.

The Transmission Area Split has a characteristic geographical position: it spreads along the coast of the Adriatic Sea and Dalmatia’s hinterland, in an area from the southernmost Dalmatia with the city of Dubrovnik, the islands of Mljet and Korčula, through central Dalmatia with the city of Split and the islands of Šolta, Brač and Hvar,  the city of Zadar and all the islands up to the island of Pag. The operation and maintenance of the power system, organizationally and technically, are greatly influenced by large distances and characteristics of terrains (karstic inaccessible terrains in the hinterland and numerous islands off the coast) as well as climatic conditions (northerly wind Bura, salting, lightning discharges).

During the Homeland War (1991-1995), the Area transmission network was significantly damaged due to destruction ( 400/220/110/10 kV Konjsko substation and Mostar-Konjsko transmission line); it was repaired in the post-war period.

The Transmission Area Split employs 296 people. The Area covers about 12,943 km2, which is about 23 percent of the national territory.  It accounts for 22-25 percent in the total electricity consumption and system peak load. The Area is responsible for 1.916,8 km of high voltage lines and 28 transformer stations, the total install capacity of which is 2,900 MVA (49 transformers and 190 circuit breaker bays).

The Area transmission network is connected with  Bosnia and Herzegovina and with Serbia and Montenegro through 11 high voltage lines. There are ten hydro power plants in the Area, which produced 3,6 TWh in 2005. Electricity consumption was 3,6 TWh, with the annual increase of 6,6 percent. The transit through the Area was 2,3 TWh and the peak-load in 2005. was 735 MW.
