The Department employs economists, legal experts and engineers engaged in activities resulting from the implementation of the Energy Sector Development Strategy of the Republic of Croatia, and the Croatian Energy Sector Development and Organisation Project (PROHES).

The Department provides expert support to the administrative bodies of the Republic of Croatia, local and regional administrative bodies, and to businesses operating in the energy sector.

Other significant activities include: work related to the regulation and supervision of activities performed by various energy subjects present on the Croatian energy market; establishment of an organised environment necessary for the functioning of the Croatian energy sector on market principles; questions related to the dynamism of the energy sector’s opening in regard to European Union Directives concerning the liberalisation of the electricity and gas markets.

In conditions determined by the processes of energy system restructuring and liberalisation, the Department manages activities related to the formation of an adequate legislative environment. In addition, it manages processes which aim to complement existing energy legislation and related secondary legislation. All of the above regulate business conditions and principles on the Croatian energy market, and enable the performance of energy subjects present on the market.

The Department continuously follows advances in professional research and the work of relevant EU institutions. This is done by participating on conferences, seminars, workshops, round tables and by exchanging experience with relevant institutions and organisations. In this way, the Department is engaged in creating adequate preconditions for the inclusion of the Republic of Croatia into EU structures.
