Although DALEKOVOD could officially start operating after the adoption of the Government Decision of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia on 8 April 1949, the Official Act states that it was actually 1 April, and perhaps even earlier, considering the need for electric power in the war-ravaged country. It was necessary to restore the existing distribution network and facilities, take over the construction of the portable 110 kV Vinodol - Rakitje and Vinodol - Matulji transmission lines, as well as numerous other 35 and 10 kV transmission lines and low-voltage networks.
Intensive preparations for the construction of 110kV transmission facilities began in 1950. These were a springboard for the development of DALEKOVOD into a modern company for the design, manufacture and construction of electric power facilities.
At the very end of the 1990s and at the turn of the century, DALEKOVOD built a large number of capital electric power facilities in Croatia, obtained after participating in a public tender. In the post-war period until 2008, DALEKOVOD was involved in the renovation of transmission lines and substations throughout Croatia.
Since our beginnings in 1949 as a company for the construction and installation of power lines, distribution facilities and substations, we have quickly become a company for the design and manufacturing of power facilities. Dalekovod made a significant step forward into foreign markets in the early 1960s. Today, Norway and Sweden are the company's primary markets, from which the majority of its revenue is generated.
From the primary energy sector, in the last 20 years Dalekovod has made a breakthrough into the transport and information and communication technologies (ICT) sectors. We have equipped tunnels, as well as carried out various works on roads and motorways, from laying and protecting installations, traffic equipment and signalling, power supply, lighting to installing telecommunications equipment and manufacturing and installing barrier and wire fences.
TODAY, Dalekovod is a company whose quality is recognized in more than 80 countries world-wide, providing engineering, manufacturing and construction services. After numerous successfully completed projects, Dalekovod has gained extensive experience in testing and quality control of its products, while special care is taken when carrying out works to protect the environment in accordance with the postulates of sustainable development
