Non-integrated solar power plants

1 MW Kaštelir solar power plant, located at Sabadin in the municipality of Kaštelir-Labinci in Istria, became the first non-integrated solar power plant in the HEP's portfolio after its acquisition in 2019. The annual output of Kaštelir 1 is between 1.2-1.5 million kWh. It is HEP's only incentivized solar power plant.

2 MW Kaštelir 2 solar power plant, the second phase of the Kaštelir solar power plant project built at the same location, has been in regular operation since 2021. In 2022, it produced 3.1 million kWh of electricity. 9,240 photovoltaic modules manufactured by domestic Solvis from Varaždin have been installed on the surface area of about 40,000 m2. The investment value is 2 million euro.

Vis solar power plant was put into operation in 2020. This 3.5 MW plant is located on the Griževa glavica hill near Žena Glava. 11,200 photovoltaic modules with the capacity of 340 Wp were installed, as well as five 720 kW frequency converters mounted, manufactured by domestic Končar, HEP's partner in this project. Its annual output is between 4.6 – 4.9 million kWh of electricity, which meets demand of about 1,500 households. With the construction of this solar power plant, the island of Vis got its own source of renewable energy and a greater security of electricity supply. The value of this investment was 4.2 million euro. A battery energy storage tank has been installed next to the solar power plant. The 1MW battery tank with the capacity of 1.44 MWh will be used to provide balancing services of the electric power system and preserve the stability of the network on the island. The value of the investment is 2.3 million euro.
