Gas prices in Croatia
Most Croatian households get their gas through the public supply service (javna usluga opskrbe plinom) at regulated prices. The energy regulator HERA sets the methodology, and since the 2022 crisis the government has repeatedly decided the household price and subsidised it to keep it down; households may also choose a market supplier.
Gas is used for heating and cooking in many Croatian towns, especially in the continental north and east, while large parts of the Dalmatian coast have no gas network and rely on electricity and heat pumps.
Croatia produces some gas of its own, onshore and in the northern Adriatic, and imports the rest, increasingly as LNG through the floating terminal off the island of Krk, opened in 2021. Since Croatia joined the euro in 2023, its prices are in euros.

How the household price is set
The price in the public service follows HERA's methodology for the cost of gas, distribution and supply, and VAT is added. In 2022 the government cut VAT on gas and used subsidies to hold the household price well below the market level, and it has renewed the arrangement in later heating seasons.
Krk and supply security
The LNG terminal at Krk lets Croatia import gas by ship and also supplies neighbouring countries through the pipeline network; Croatia has decided to expand its capacity. Together with domestic production, it made the country far less exposed when Russian supplies to Europe fell in 2022.
