North of Ernestinovo lies the major HEP transformer station TS Ernestinovo, which was originally built in 1977 as the first 400kV station in Croatia. It is connected with long-distance power lines to TS Tumbri/Žerjavinec (Zagreb) and Pecs, Hungary. It had been damaged in the Croatian War of Independence in 1991, but was fully repaired in 2004.[2]
