Abstract

U radu se analizira pojam energetske održivosti u globalnom, regionalnom i lokalnom/nacionalnom kontekstu, točnije na području Republike Hrvatske. Raspravlja se o tome što podrazumijeva energetska održivost, kakav je politički i ekonomski kontekst ove problematike te kakva je situacija vezano za energetsku tranziciju trenutno u Hrvatskoj. Posebni fokus u radu je na energetskim zadrugama koje su jedan od ključnih faktora o provođenju projekata i inicijativa zelene tranzicije općenito, a posebno na području energetike. U tom kontekstu, na temelju analize aktualne situacije u Hrvatskoj, može se zaključiti da su po pitanju energetske tranzicije najaktivnija područja neki od hrvatskih otoka, prvenstveno Cres, Lošinj, Brač, Hvar i Korčula, koji su trenutno u fokusu kao područja na kojima se provodi najveći broj inicijativa i projekata o okviru energetske tranzicije. Otoci su, a to je prepoznala i EU, posebno pogodna područja kada je riječ o provedbi projekata energetske tranzicije jer predstavljaju izolirane makro sustave. S druge strane, otoci su i među područjima koja su najviše ugrožena neadekvatnom energetskom politikom, odnosno neadekvatnom infrastrukturom. Također, otoci su i područja koja, kada je riječ o obnovljivim izvorima energije, imaju i najveći potencijal. Zbog svega navedenoga za očekivati je da će upravo na hrvatskim otocima započeti i ubrzati se proces zelene odnosno energetske tranzicije u hrvatskoj (a sličan obrazac već je u tijeku na regionalnoj i globalnoj razini)

Abstract (english)

The paper analyzes the concept of energy sustainability in the global, regional and local/national context, more precisely in the territory of the Republic of Croatia. It discusses what energy sustainability means, what is the political and economic context of this issue and what is the situation regarding the energy transition currently in Croatia. A special focus in the work is on energy cooperatives, which are one of the key factors in the implementation of green transition projects and initiatives in general, and in the field of energy in particular. In this context, based on the analysis of the current situation in Croatia, it can be concluded that the most active areas in terms of energy transition, are several Croatian islands, primarily Cres, Losinj, Brac, Hvar and Korcula, which are currently in focus as areas where the largest number of initiatives and projects on the framework of energy transition are implemented. The islands are, as the EU has recognized as well, particularly suitable areas for the implementation of energy transition projects because they represent isolated macro-systems. On the other hand, the islands are also among the areas most endangered by inadequate energy policy and inadequate infrastructure. Also, islands are areas that, when it comes to renewable energy sources, have the greatest potential. Due to all the above, it is to be expected that the process of green and energy transition in Croatia will begin and accelerate on the Croatian islands (and a similar pattern is already underway at the regional and global level).
