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

PVportal

, the Slovenian Photovoltaic (PV) Portal has been providing information on solar energy in the Slovenian language. It is the only place where you can find a list of all solar power plants in Slovenia in one place, find basic information on the individual building blocks of solar power plants and find out about new developments.

Energy in Slovenia

OverviewElectricityGeneralEnergy planFuel sourcesClimate changeSee alsoExternal links

Electricity generation is mainly provided by nuclear power (36.2% in 2019), hydroelectricity (29.1% in 2019), and coal (27.9% in 2019); the three sources accounting for 93.2% of total electricity generation. Minor sources of electricity generation, each contributing less than 4% of total electricity generation, are natural gas, solar photovoltaic (solar PV), and biofuels. Following steep declines in use since 1990, Slovenia eliminated the use of oil for generating electricity in 2019. Renewable energy

Slovenia: Energy Country Profile

Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be

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

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

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

Solar power boom in Slovenia – almost 2,500 solar

In 2019 Slovenia installed 2,496 solar photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of 31.2 MW of which the vast majority is for self-consumption. Compared to 2018 this is an increase of 233%. The growing number of

About solar energy

Due to its favourable geographical location, Slovenia has a great potential for increasing its proportion of solar energy used. In 2020, a total of 11,990 solar power plants with a total electrical capacity of 371.6 MW were installed.

Photovoltaic power plants in Slovenia

Slovenia offers great potential for exploiting photovoltaic energy due to evenly spread solar irradiation. The first photovoltaic power plant in Slovenia was set up in 2001. At the end of 2017, 4,231 photovoltaic power
