The Institute’s vision is an answer to the requirements of the Croatian energy sector which is undergoing reform, restructuring, privatisation and opening of the energy market. In this context, it is of considerable importance to accelerate all activities related to EU accession, strengthen the Institute’s regional role in the advancement of Croatia’s economic and overall interests, and follow the ever increasing role of Croatia in international political and economic relations. In order to achieve the aforementioned goals, it is necessary to increase the level of knowledge and capacity within the energy sector and state administration, but also within the overall economy in order to develop capacity to perform well in a market economy and an open energy market

As the main leader in its field, the Institute responsibly and persistently performs all tasks outlined in its mission statement while supporting energy sector transition processes. The fulfilment of these tasks is possible since the Institute has, through the years, gained the confidence of all subjects in the energy sector as a professionally responsible and scientifically competent institution.

Regional and international cooperation represent important components of the Institute’s programme. In this context, the Institute represents an important centre for cooperation in the realisation of common programs, education and reform in the region. The Institute has confirmed a high level of professionalism in preparing, managing and executing international scientific programmes.

Successful implementation of reforms, increase in the level of knowledge, and information dissemination within the expert, scientific and professional community and the general public, represent important tasks of the Institute. These tasks are realised by providing different forms and levels of education, or by publishing work which is aimed at various target groups.
