Croatia: 1.7M households to skip heating as bills jump 327 EUR from Jan

Croatian households face a 327-euro annual bill increase from January, following a 4% rise since October, pushing typical annual costs to ~2,400 euros. The forecast suggests 1.7 million households will forgo heating, indicating severe energy affordability stress. This signals potential demand destruction and heightened social/political pressure in Croatia, with possible spillover to regional energy markets.
