Alongside tourist it came increased urbanization (new hotels,airports,holiday camps,hospitals ,holiday homes etc. popped up all over the coast) and with it came increased energy use .
Croatia has started to feel impact of those trends few years back when it became obvious that current sources of energy (electric/gas and oil) can not match increased expenditure in the region.
This has created opportunity for alternative energy sources to be tried ,unfortunately due to lack of funds (looming economic crisis / recession ) and profound lack of political will (both local and state )and non existent national strategy that did not happen .
It was pretty much left to private sector and rare individuals and enthusiasts to pick up the slack with it while respective governments in the region still mauled plans for same old "big energy projects" such as river dams (classic power plants )and even nuclear energy projects which proved to be very costly and environmentally dangerous in other much richer countries in Europe.
This situation has created a situation where a big solar panel manufacturer could crack the whole market up and down Adriatic coast and hundreds of islands along with it and launch highly profitable business .
In effect such venture could establish some sort of monopoly on solar energy providing to this part of Europe .
My opinion is that there is a possibility to establish contacts between solar panel/energy converter manufacturers with commercial or respective state developments banks (banks in charge of developing economic growth in respective states and owned by the state )
Those banks can step in and give low interest loans to private buyers of solar energy units and also for big energy users such as hospitals/hotels/airports/post offices/local bureaucracy office buildings etc it will be possible to obtain local or state subsidies to buy such units on top of the low interest loans they would get from the banks (commercial or state)in the region.
