Powerplants in Croatia

Wind poweplants (VE)• Wind powerplants started developing around the

late 80’s

• To this day in Croatia there are 8 wind powerplants with around 79 wind turbines

• Yearly they produce around 383 GWh of electricity (in comparison TE Plomin 3 produces around 2173 GWh)

• Most of them are in Primorska Croatia because of the strong winds

What’s the difference between a wind powerplant and a wind turbine?
