The Boraja II wind farm, together with the Opor wind farm, represents ACCIONA Energía's return to investing in the Croatian wind power sector, where it has been operating the Jelinak wind farm since 2013. The commissioning of the two wind farms has brought the company's installed capacity in the country to 102 MW. Both wind farms supply electricity to the national grid through Hrvatski Operator Tržišta Energije (HROTE), the Croatian energy market operator.

These projects are linked to 12-year contracts for difference (CfDs) with HROTE. These contracts have been awarded through a public auction as part of a program launched by the Croatian Government and HROTE and approved by the European Commission to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy. This mechanism guarantees a reference price for the electricity generated, providing revenue stability for the projects and reducing their exposure to wholesale market price volatility.

The Opor and Boraja II wind farms created up to 400 direct jobs during peak construction activity. The projects generate around 203 GWh of clean electricity annually and prevent the emission of approximately 135,000 tonnes of CO₂ each year.
