Performance of PV systems in Slovenia with the help of typical

The typical energy yield value for Slovenia is 1050 kWh/kW (non-written value used by Slovenian authorities for evaluation of PV systems) which means that the PV systems in Slovenia are working well. When comparing with other European studies, the average yield of Slovenian PV systems is higher than in Belgium and UK but lower than in France

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
