Croatia: DRI, the EU arm of Ukrainian renewable developer DTEK is set to build the company’s second wind farm in Croatia. The 120 MW Ljubovo wind farm will be based in Lika-Senj County, central Croatia. DRI plans to begin construction in 2027.

The company received preliminary access point to the grid from HOPS, Croatia’s TSO in November 2024 and filed for the energy approval to the Ministry of Economy of Croatia at the end of last year.

Ivan Geliukh, CEO of DRI commented: “DRI is increasingly playing an active role in Croatia’s energy transition as we will build a third renewable energy project in the country. In addition to contributing to the country’s clean energy targets, the development of the Ljubovo wind farm will showcase DRI’s in-house capabilities in engineering, construction, and operations, leveraging on our expertise in generating value along the supply chain and construction management.”

The project will join the company’s two renewable energy developments in Croatia: the 127.5 MW Brda Umovi wind farm and the 60 MWp Vedrine solar park in Split. Brda Umovi will add an additional 28.8 MW in a second phase, with grid connection expected in the second half of 2026, while the Vedrine solar park is expected to supply energy to the Croatian grid in the second half of 2027.
