Breakdown of Sufinanciranje je moguće neovisno o tome je li priključna snaga mala.

Why is je li used here? Does it mean if or whether?

Here je li introduces an indirect yes/no question, so in English it is usually best translated as whether or sometimes if.

So:

neovisno o tome je li priključna snaga mala = regardless of whether the connection capacity is small

This is different from a direct question like:

In your sentence, it is embedded inside a larger structure, so je li means whether.

Why is it je li, not da li?

In standard Croatian, je li is generally preferred, especially in formal and written language.

So:

je li = more standard, especially in formal Croatian
da li = also understood and common in speech, but often considered less formal or less elegant in careful writing

Because this sentence sounds administrative/formal, je li is exactly what you would expect.
