📣 Where do I complain about my energy company in Croatia?

The short answer

Start with the company itself, in writing. If that does not solve it, an independent body settles disputes with energy companies.

📜 The rules in Croatia

What to do first

There is no separate energy ombudsman. First complain in writing to your supplier; if unhappy, go to its Consumer Complaints Committee (Povjerenstvo za reklamacije potrošača). HERA also handles complaints and appeals from customers.

Is the decision binding?

That differs per country and body. The dispute body explains it before you start.

Can I still go to court?
