摘要：Today, economies operate in the terms caused by inevitably consequences of recession. Impacts of recession spread out from one economic sector into other, and also the economy initiators, among which is electrical power sector. European Union and Republic of Croatia were faced with diff erent barriers in their free market functioning of their electrical power sectors. Croatia is passing through the period of opening of the energy market. Knowledge of the terms of operating the energy market presents the important part of this process. Presence of competition on the market gives the possibility to achieve acceptable prices and terms of energy delivery. Countries that have already liberated their electrical power sector have positive experiences which can be used during liberalization of Croatian electrical power sector.
