Klakar, Croatia – Around a year after announcing its pilot solar project in Croatia’s Slavonia region, Janom Investments has reached the ready-to-build stage for its 30 MW photovoltaic (PV) power plant. This marks the company’s first investment in Croatia and a significant step in its regional expansion. Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2025, with commissioning planned for the second quarter of 2026.
The project is supported by Ekonerg, a Croatian owner’s engineering firm, which is providing technical assistance throughout the development and construction process. A recent meeting in Klakar brought together Janom Investments’ CEO Andrej Sršeň, CIO Radovan Šavolt, Ekonerg’s Boris Režek, and Klakar Mayor Mr. Pendić to discuss the upcoming construction phase and long-term cooperation.
Andrej Sršeň, CEO of Janom Investments, said:
“We are proud to be part of one of the largest PV projects in Croatia to date. We appreciate the strong support from the Municipality of Klakar throughout the permitting process and will do our utmost to deliver this solar power plant to the grid by Q2 2026.”
Tomislav Pendić, Mayor of Klakar added:
“We are proud to contribute to Croatia’s decarbonization goals. This solar power plant not only supports the country’s green transition but will also bring tangible benefits to our municipality through a long-term land lease, providing additional revenue to support public services.”
Janom Investments is currently advancing the permitting process for a portfolio of solar and wind projects totaling more than 200 MW in Croatia. The company also plans to leverage its expertise in battery energy storage systems (BESS) to support grid modernization and resilience.
