FESTIVE EDITION OF THE GOOD ENERGY
The Good Energy Festival will take place on May 5-7 in Zagreb and it will focus on community energy in the light of growing incentives for solar energy at the EU and national levels. In addition to the part of the program dedicated to experts and practitioners in this field, we are opening the Festival to the citizens with entertaining and educational sessions on the topic of solar energy.
Mission of ZEZ is to assist citizens in the development, investment and use of renewable energy sources. We develop concrete and sustainable solutions that promote the development of local communities.

scope of work and services
Community Energy
We help citizens to participate in planning, decision-making and investments in locally available energy sources.
Energy Sustainable Communities
We believe that every community can produce energy from locally available sources and thus be less depend on imported oil and gas, be energy-independent.
Energy Cooperatives
We are developing and supporting the work of energy cooperatives and local energy initiatives in Croatia and the region of the Western Balkans.
Cooperation between the power companies and the local community
We believe that state-owned electric power companies do not have to be completely untouchable and without contact with citizens, except when paying a monthly electricity bill.
Energy Poverty
Every fifth citizen of Croatia lives at risk of poverty, and at least every fourth household has problems paying monthly bills for electricity and heating.
Blockchain in Energy
Our experts actively explore and apply blockchain technology in the energy sector. We are looking into using it for the purpose of democratizing the electricity market, developing micro-networks, ie, small distribution systems (microgrids) and P2P (peer-to-peer) systems etc.
Alternative Finance
Crowdfunding is one form of alternative financing with which we have many years of experience.
Biofuels Market Development
We introduce and promote a certification system of quality and biofuel sustainability.
