Abstract

The competitiveness of market participants in the European single electricity market depends on the costs of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Achieving distributed power generation is an important goal because the generation facilities are located near the final customers, whereby the losses of electricity in the network as well as the need for the capacity of the high voltage network are reduced. The distribution of electricity in the Republic of Croatia is carried out by the HEP Distribution System Operator (HEP ODS) that manages the distribution network and facilities, as opposed to the energy activity of the distribution of natural gas that is carried out by dozens of operators in their distribution areas. Therefore, the amounts of tariff items in the Tariff system for electricity distribution, for certain categories of customers (i.e. tariff models), are unique over the entire territory of Croatia. HEP ODS carries out the distribution of electricity in 21 distribution areas, which differ significantly in size, number of employees, number of customers, network length and the amount of distributed electricity. The indicators essential for the efficiency of the distribution system are analyzed in this paper, based on the modified regionalisation of distribution areas. The aim of this paper is to analyze relevant data for HEP ODS and to compare these data according to the distribution areas, towards the higher efficiency of the system itself.
