Croatia’s leading energy company – has become the 25th member of Central Europe Energy Partners (CEEP).Less than two years after Croatia joined the European Union, the country’s oldest power company strengthens the position of the major body representing the interests of Central Europe’s energy and energy-intensive industries.
“At CEEP, we strongly believe that access to low energy prices is one of key drivers of economic growth. We make energy producers and consumers across the continent speak with one voice. With HEP onboard, this voice will be stronger, given the company’s position and Croatia’s role as one of the region’s energy bedrocks”, said Paweł Olechnowicz, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Central Europe Energy Partners.
HEP has been engaged in electricity production, transmission and distribution for more than one century, and with heat supply and gas distribution for the past few decades. The company’s diversified portfolio of products, services and projects goes in line with the broad representation of CEEP’s members.
“As the new energy partner on the EU internal market, I am pleased that CEEP recognized HEP as its strategic partner in connecting different parts of the EU in the framework of the Energy Community and the Energy Union. HEP, on the other hand, has recognized the opportunity in profiling its interests in electricity production, transmission and distribution, heat supply and gas distribution, which in the EU framework is far more effective through partnership with other interested parties who have similar or the same interests”, said Perica Jukić, Chairman of the Board, HEP d.d.
