Vis Viva is a project that provides strong support to the transition to renewable and low-carbon electricity. The foundation of this harmonious energy future is a unique power project, Vis Viva, which means “living force” in Latin. The total project investment is expected to be worth €1 billion.
In order to achieve the vision of a harmonious energy future, the central role will be played by Vis Viva – a unique power project that ensures secure and stable replenishment and use of different energy sources, striking a balance between nature, people and technology.
Oriented toward mutually complementary, diverse energy sources – wind, solar, water and natural gas – the Vis Viva Project enhances the flexibility, stability and reliability of the electricity system of Croatia and the EU.
Secure and stable complementarity and use of different sources of energy will be achieved through the construction of the Peruća Combined-cycle Cogeneration Natural Gas Plant Peruća, the Vrdovo Storage Plant, the Dugopolje-Peruća Connecting Pipeline and Peruća-Konjsko Transmission Line with the Hrvace Substation, together with both existing and planned solar and wind power facilities.
Together they allow for the storage of surplus electricity and its use when needed the most or when it is most cost-effective, and a back-up source when power cannot be generated by the wind or sun due to adverse weather.

This is a private project owned by MCC and the Vrdovo Pumped Hydro Storage developers, for which a group of respected Croatian companies with extensive experience in developing large-scale power facilities in Croatia are preparing technical and feasibility documentation. This venture is backed by the finest Croatian engineering intelligence, with the intention of maintaining the continuity of developing large power projects in Croatia.
The partner companies contributed their expertise and extensive experience in the development of specialized and technical foundations (studies, preliminary designs) with the aim of obtaining all necessary permits, especially the site permit, which is crucial to the future of the project. These activities are meant to attract strategic investors to the project. This approach creates added value because any strategic investor joins the project on a ‘turnkey’ basis, in its mature stage, so it can focus on implementation of further activities in an environment where all conditions for its successful implementation have already been secured.
