Lignite deposits are found in the north central and northeastern regions of Slovenia; the country does not have any identified hard coal reserves. There is one active lignite mine in Slovenia, near Velenje in the north central region of the country. The mine produced 3.2 million tonnes of lignite in 2018 for combustion in the neighboring Šoštanj Power Plant. The mine is Slovenia''s only producing fossil fuel facility. The power plant has an expected closure date of 2033 nonetheles

6 FAQs about [Slovenia solar corp energy]

Does Slovenia have solar power?

Per analysis published by the World Bank which considers natural features of a location such as altitude, humidity, cloud cover, and topography, Slovenia's solar PV potential is relatively low compared to global resources, but is comparable to that of other central and eastern European countries which lie north of the Alps.

How many wind turbines are there in Slovenia?

A solar power plant with a capacity of 6MW opened in 2023 at Brežice, linked to the hydro power plant. Slovenia had just 2 wind turbines in 2022. Onshore wind energy potential for Slovenia is typical of central and eastern Europe.

Does Slovenia use oil to generate electricity?

Following steep declines in use since 1990, Slovenia eliminated the use of oil for generating electricity in 2019. Renewable energy sources other than hydropower (e.g., biofuels, solar PV, waste, and wind) together provided 3.5% of total electricity generation in 2019.

How much energy does Slovenia produce?

Slovenia generated 68.8% of its electricity with zero carbon or carbon neutral sources in 2019, dominated by nuclear power and hydroelectricity. Fossil fuels oil, coal, and natural gas contributed 61% of the total energy supply of Slovenia in 2019.

Does Slovenia have natural gas?

Slovenia has essentially no natural gas or petroleum reserves or production. The possibility of a gas pipeline with Hungary has been proposed for years, a pipeline exists to the border with Hungary, but as of 2023 it has not been connected to Hungary.

Can a PV system be installed for self-consumption in Slovenia?

A PV system for self-consumption in Slovenia could be installed with a maximum capacity of 11 kW. The surplus of electricity is stored in the grid while the calculation is done once a year. Last year 2,482 PV installations for self-consumption were installed. Their capacity was 30.68 MW.
