Croatian government utility decrees maintain price caps on electricity for household consumers (up to 3,000 kWh semi-annually), shielding domestic users from wholesale European energy market volatility.

Frequently Asked Questions (Croatia Electricity Bills & HEP)
What is the difference between HEP Tariff Model Bijeli and Model Plavi? ▾
Model Bijeli (White) is a dual-rate tariff that charges a higher rate during peak daytime hours (Viša tarifa - VT) and an approximate 50% discounted rate during off-peak night hours (Niža tarifa - NT). Model Plavi (Blue) is a single-rate tariff charging a constant flat rate (Jedinstvena tarifa - JT) 24 hours a day.
What are the official hours for the low night tariff (NT) in Croatia? ▾
During standard winter time (late October to late March), the night discount tariff applies from 21:00 to 07:00. During daylight saving summer time (late March to late October), the night discount tariff applies from 22:00 to 08:00.
What is the VAT (PDV) rate on electricity for Croatian households? ▾
Electricity deliveries to domestic household consumers in Croatia benefit from a reduced VAT (PDV) rate of 13% instead of the standard 25% national rate, of the government's energy price protection package.
What components make up the total HEP electricity invoice? ▾
The monthly bill comprises three primary parts: 1) Active energy supply (HEP Elektra), 2) Grid transmission and distribution fees (HEP ODS mrežarina), 3) Renewable energy fee (Naknada za OIE) and standing metering point charge (~€2.31/mo), with 13% PDV applied across all components.
When does switching from Single (Plavi) to Dual (Bijeli) tariff save money? ▾
Households that consume more than 30% to 35% of their total monthly electricity during night hours (using appliances, electric boilers, heating, or EV charging between 21:00/22:00 and 07:00/08:00) generally achieve significant cost reductions with Model Bijeli.
