November 2013 for a timespan of 14 (fourteen) years..
To market the electrical power it produces, ZGOS entered into the Agreement on the Purchase of Electrical Power from a Plant Using a Renewable Energy Source, Number: BIOPLIN1.f.3.-4/14, concluded on 18 March 2014, with the Croatian Energy Market Operator and Anex I. from 18.03.2015. for a period to 04.12.2018.

For the purpose of selling the produced el. energy oft he mTEO facility after 05.12.2018. ZGOS branch of the Zagreb Holding has made an agreement with the Croatian Energy Market Operator for participating on the market for el. energy, has regulated participation in the bilance group and the Agreement on the Purchase of Electrical Power. On the basis of the acquisition of the Status of Eligible Electrical Power Producer on 23.11.2013., we have made an Agreement of Guarantees of Origin Registry-HROTE.

Landfill gas generated by the waste deposited at the landfill is transported to gas engines via a gas pipeline network equipped with catchpots and gas wells, and converted to electrical power there. A total of 153.425 thousand m3 of landfill gas was extracted from the landfill body between December 2004 and Juni 2020. All of the extracted gas was processed at the Small Thermal Power Plant.

A small electrical power plant that produces electric energy from landfill gas at the landfill Jakuševec is one of its kind in the Republic of Croatia. In 2014.  The plant produced a total of 12.003.668 kWh of electric energy. In 2015. a third generator was installedand the total of 17.524.144 kWh of electric energy has been produced, which is enough to settle the yearly energy demand of roughly 5.000 house holds. In 2018. The plant produced a total of 18.297.660 kWh of electric energy, which is enough to settle the yearly energy demand of roughly 6.100 house holds.

Since January and until December 2019 the amount of electric energy produced and placed on the market was 19.091 MWh from renewable energy sources. This amount would settle the average energy consumption of around 6.360 households over a period of 12 months,  (mTEO).

Since December 2004 and until Juni 2020 the amount  of electric energy produced and placed on the market was 139.772 MWh, (mTEO)

mE Jakuševec 2 (GP4)

The Gas facility has been expanded in 2019. by building a fourth generator- mE Jakuševec 2 (GP4) with a power of 1,2 MWel, as a separate producing facility. The same is planned to be put in to a trial work period at the end of May 2019. as well as the acquisition of the Status of -Eligible Electrical Power Producer-HERA, and enrollment in to the Guarantees of Origin Registry-HROTE.

From January till Juni 2020 the amount of electric energy produced and placed on the market was 4.189 MWh. This amount is sufficient to settle the average energy consumption of around 2.800 households over a period of 6 months, (GP4).
