Energy in Slovenia

OverviewFuel sourcesGeneralEnergy planElectricityClimate changeSee alsoExternal links

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

150-million (USD 161m) scheme in Slovenia that aims to support the expansion of renewable energy, heat and energy storage. The programme will provide direct grants of up to EUR 25 million per beneficiary to speed up investments in renewable energy production and energy storage. Aid will be provided no later than December 31, 2025 Policies & Market

Solar power boom in Slovenia

Under the scheme, 14 installations with an installed capacity of 1.5 MW were connected to the grid, according to the report produced by Slovenia''s PV portal. The generation of all solar power plants reached 268 GWh or 1.8% of the total electricity production

Slovenia''s electricity consumption on 4 May 2024 entirely from

During this Government''s term, Slovenia has achieved incredible growth in solar energy use, more than doubling its total capacity from 1 June 2022 to the end of 2023. Growth in solar power plant production capacities in 2023 was the highest in the European Union in terms of added capacity per capita, thus closing the gap in achieving its

Slovenia exceeds 1 GW in solar capacity in 2023

In 2023 Slovenia added 400 MW in solar power, exceeding 1 GW in total capacity. The country also entered the list of the top ten European Union member countries in installed solar power per capita. At the end of

ENERGY PROFILE Slovenia

Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country''s land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across the classes (for comparison).

Slovenia

Domestic energy production. Energy production includes any fossil fuels drilled and mined, which can be burned to produce electricity or used as fuels, as well as energy produced by nuclear fission and renewable power sources such as hydro, wind and solar PV.

Energy in Slovenia

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. [1] [14]

Slovenia exceeds 1 GW in solar capacity in 2023

In 2023 Slovenia added 400 MW in solar power, exceeding 1 GW in total capacity. The country also entered the list of the top ten European Union member countries in installed solar power per capita. At the end of 2022, Slovenia had solar facilities of an overall 697.7 MW, and with last year''s expansion the level reached 1,101.5 MW, the

Energy consumption in Slovenia

If all production capacities in Slovenia for solar, wind, tidal, geothermal and biomass are added together, this results in a share of 6.5% of the total electricity volume for renewable energies excluding wind power plants.
