Invest in the energy of the Adriatic

The Adriatic coast offers some of the best conditions in Europe for solar and wind energy. Zadar records above-average irradiance values, steady winds on the islands, and growing local engagement in the energy transition. For investors, this means a concrete opportunity — but also specific local challenges that need to be understood.

Adriatic OIE offers investors what is most valuable: local knowledge. We understand grid specifics, know the capacity of the distribution system, track regulatory changes, and have established relationships with local governments and the grid operator. This means we can accelerate your path from idea to project realisation.

We particularly focus on innovative investment models — including micro-loan models for solar installation on public buildings, and approaches that allow citizens to directly invest in local energy projects. These models not only ensure a return on investment, but also build local community trust in the project.

Through EU funds — Interreg Italy-Croatia, the ITP island programme, Horizon calls — there is significant scope for co-financing projects. Our role is to help you understand which funds are relevant, what the eligibility criteria are, and how to structure your project to maximise chances of success.
