Around a year after announcing its pilot project in Croatia’s Slavonia region, Janom Investments has reached the ready-to-build stage for the 30 MW photovoltaic plant.

This marks Janom Investments’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 engineering firm, which is providing technical assistance throughout the development and construction process.

Sršeň: We will do our utmost to deliver this solar power plant to the grid by Q2 2026

A recent meeting in Klakar in Slavonia brought together Janom Investments’ CEO Andrej Sršeň and CIO Radovan Šavolt, Ekonerg’s Boris Režek, and Klakar Mayor Tomislav Pendić to discuss the upcoming construction phase and long-term cooperation.

Andrej Sršeň, CEO of Janom Investments, said they 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,” Sršeň stated.

According to Tomislav Pendić, Mayor of Klakar, the project will 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,” he stressed.
