Regional Energy Agency Kvarner Ltd. has been established by the County of
Primorje-Gorski Kotar, with the support of the European Commission, Intelligent Energy
Europe program in 2009;
The Agency is established as a single organization and institutionalized framework for
more rational use of existing energy resources;
The main objective and the role of the Agency is to promote and encourage
sustainable regional development in the field of energy through the use of renewable
energy sources and introducing energy efficiency;
The Agency also supports the introduction of 'good practice' in energy management,
encourages the concept of sustainable development, provides information and advice,
as well as a range of other services based on specific local energy needs;
The Agency's mission is to increase the share of renewable energy in total energy
consumption in its region.
MAIN ACTIVITIES OF THE AGENCY:
 proposing and implementing measures to achieve energy efficiency (EE) and the use of renewable
energy sources (RES) – also known as 20-20-20
 Energy savings in buildings (energy audits, energy certificates, recommendations for increasing
the efficiency of heating, lighting and installation)
premanent citizen’s education
 monitoring and assessing the current situation
and analysis
 proposing energy action plans with
emphasis on EE and RES
cooperation with local governments on energy
projects and making of their SEAP’s
project application to EU and other funds

“Sun on your roof” and “Green energy in my home”
Projects “Sun on your roof” in 2010 - solar thermal collectors
Project “Green energy in my home” in 2011 - 2010 year’s project extended to
biomass systems
Projects are aimed to co-finance households in installing heating systems
using renewable energy sources
Total costs of equipment and installation
of solar or biomass systems in households
are co-financed in the amount of 40% of
the investment.
“Green energy in my home”
Psychiatric Hospital Rab
Home for the Elderly and Infirm Persons „Mali Kartec”, Krk
“Public flat roof market ”
The project involves investment in photovoltaic power plants with capacity of 30 kW
each, suited on the flat roofs of buildings owned by the local government. The area of
the county of Primorje and Gorski Kotar has a great potential to exploit the solar
energy.
The Power purchase contract
gives the investor/project developer
a proof that their electricity
production will be incentivized for
a period of 14 years.

having a maximum power output of 10
MW per location.
Physical planning documents:
• A portion of the site has already
been defined by the PrimorjeGorski Kotar County Physical Plan
and the remainder will be
determined by physical plans of
municipalities and cities.
