Viewing cable 06ZAGREB729, CROATIA EYES REGIONAL ENERGY MARKET

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

TAGS: ENRG SENV HR
SUBJECT: CROATIA EYES REGIONAL ENERGY MARKET 
 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: Croatia currently covers 46 
percent of its overall energy needs from domestic 
sources.  However, the GOC predicts that by 2030 it 
will only be able to cover 30 percent or less if no 
other investments are made into the energy sector. 
Croatia is now engaged in several regional 
initiatives that will benefit its own energy needs 
and give it a foothold in the larger European energy 
market.  End Summary. 
 
---------------------- 
Pan European Pipeline 
---------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) Zeljko Tomsic, Assistant Minister for 
Energy and Mining in the Croatian Ministry of 
Economy, blamed Slovenia for stalling the Pan 
European Pipeline (PEOP) project when its 
representative failed to show for the March 22 
meeting of the Interstate Committee in Trieste. The 
three original members of the committee (Croatia, 
Serbia and Romania) were to sign a memorandum of 
understanding allowing Italy and Slovenia to join 
and to establish a project development company that 
would invest 10 million euros for a project 
feasibility study. Slovenia invoked environmental 
concerns, but Tomsic said he suspects the motivation 
for the pullout was more likely political and 
economic. He said the other countries were willing 
to address Slovenia's environmental concerns, but 
are also considering an alternate route that would 
bypass Slovenia. 
 
3. (SBU) Another meeting of the Interstate Committee 
was scheduled for June 12 at which time Croatia was 
expected to  transfer the presidency to Italy. 
Tomsic said Italy is in a better position to press 
Slovenia into cooperating as well as to demonstrate 
the importance of the project to Europe. Tomsic said 
Richard Ennis, of the NY office of ING Bank, was 
invited to the meeting to discuss potential US 
investors. 
 
4. (SBU) JANAF, the Croatian pipeline transmission 
company, has already offered to invest 2 million 
euro in the feasibility study. The company has an 
interest in contributing to the project to ensure 
its future profitability. 
 
 
---------------------------- 
Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) 
---------------------------- 
 
5. (SBU) Adria LNG Study Company (ALSCo), a 
consortium of international companies, is privately 
funding a potential LNG pipeline project. The intent 
is to build a LNG terminal at Omisalj on the island 
of Krk in the Northern Adriatic with a pipeline to 
supply Italy and Europe.  Currently ALSCo is 
solidifying its shareholder structure, updating a 
feasibility study and preparing an environmental 
impact study. Tomsic called the projected 2011 
completion of the LNG project ambitious. 
 
6. (SBU) The consortium includes original and new 
members: Total (France), OMV Gas (Austria), INA 
(Croatia), RWE Transgas (Germany), Geoplin 
(Slovenia) and EON Ruhrgas (Germany). INA CEO 
Tomislav Dragicevic said HEP is likely to be 
accepted into the consortium after INA offered some 
of its shares. 
 
------------- 
Nuclear Power 
------------- 
 
7. (SBU) Plans for building another power plant in 
Krsko (Slovenia) had been on the back burner but 
Croatian and Slovenian officials are once again 
considering the project as a means of meeting 
increasing power demands. However, Slovenia is 
expected to insist on majority control of any new 
facility, Tomsic said. Meanwhile, legal experts are 
split over whether a ban on development of nuclear 
power in Croatia, adopted by Parliament as part of 
its urban development plan, is actually a law. 
 
------------- 
Wind Energy 
------------- 
 
8. (SBU) A wind farm close to Sibenik on the 
Dalmatian coast is scheduled for completion by the 
end of June 2006 and six more wind farms are under 
construction. Tomsic said there is considerable 
interest among developers, adding that the 
government is reviewing its laws and tariffs on 
developing and operating renewable energy sources. 
One recent decision prohibits construction of wind 
farms on islands or within 1 kilometer of the coast. 
He said the government, however, has been too busy 
with EU regulations to spend time needed on 
developing other renewable sources of energy. 
 
------------ 
Electricity 
------------ 
 
9. (SBU) Tomsic traveled to the US in April with 
Tomo Galic, chairman of the Croatian Energy 
Regulatory Authority (HERA); three executives from 
HEP including HEP CEO Ivan Mravak; Leo Prelec, the 
CEO of the Croatian Market Operator (HROTE); and 
five managers of HEP transmission System Operator. 
During that visit, Tomsic said he was asked to give 
a briefing on power and energy policies in Croatia. 
He is preparing for a return trip in July, as well 
as accompanying Minister Vukelic in June. 
 
 
10. (SBU) HEP continues to work with USAID to 
transition from a monopolistic national power 
utility to a regulated market model utility, 
according to EU standards. This includes working 
with the Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA), 
HEP and the Ministry of Economy on legislation, 
licensing procedures, public service obligations, 
tariffs, data collection and grid codes. Another 
existing Regulatory Partnership exchange - the NY 
Public Service Commission and the Croatian Energy 
Regulatory Agency - is scheduled for early July.
