Growth in the renewable energy sector led to renewables dominating mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals in 2023. 1 Despite M&A activity slowing in 2024, dealmakers can still take advantage of a variety of risk transfer options to help facilitate M&A opportunities and access to capital. Risk programs — including traditional property and casualty insurance,
The total use of renewable energy sources (RES) in Slovenia was 41 PJ (978 ktoe), which represents a 13.6% share of primary energy consumption in 2011 (Fig. 2). The two main renewable energy sources are hydroenergy with a 4.3% share in primary energy or 17 PJ (306 ktoe), and wood with a 7.2% share in primary energy consumption or 22 PJ (518 ktoe).
The objectives of the component "Renewable energy and energy efficiency" are to increase the use of renewable energy sources, improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The reforms supporting the investments include regulatory changes to unlock the production potential of renewable energy, stepping up the electricity grid
The Act on the Deployment of Electricity Generation Plants from Renewable Energy Sources entered into force on 3 August 2023. The new legislation removed certain legal and administrative obstacles in the area of spatial planning and allowed the creation of a single point of contact to assist consumers in all procedures for the installation and
Slovenia needs to consider measures to promote renewable energy, to support energy efficiency and sustainable transport, while developing its national recovery and resilience plan, the European Commission said.
Nuclear energy accounted for the largest share with almost 47%, followed by renewable energy sources (including hydro energy) with 32% and energy from coal with 21%. With domestic energy resources, Slovenia met less than half (48%) of its energy demand, while the remaining amount was imported. Final energy consumption in Slovenia in 2022
The main objective of this paper is to present a current energy mix, current state of RES and scenario-based assessment for the development of energy consumption of all energy types until 2050 in Slovenia, focusing on electricity consumption.
Slovenia signed and ratified the UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol, the Doha Amendment, and the Paris Agreement. It recognises dealing with climate change as one of its priority foreign policy areas, with a special focus on the sustainability of water and forest resources, and biological and geographical diversity (National Assembly 2015).Furthermore,
By supporting green technologies and a circular economy and by investing in renewable energy sources, the Šalek Valley can become an example of good practice of the green energy transition, effective restructuring and successful adaptation to
On 1 and 2 May, nearly all electricity generated in Slovenia was from renewable energy sources, with both the Krško Nuclear Power Plant and the Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant being out of operation. In the first days of May, most electricity in Slovenia was produced from renewable energy sources. The data is available only for the transmission
In order to achieve climate neutrality and higher targets for the share of renewable energy in gross final consumption, the Introduction of Installations for the Production of Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources Act ("ZUNPEOVE") was recently adopted.ZUNPEOVE amends certain existing Slovenian laws and transposes relevant EU directives to remove barriers that exist in the
Slovenia will promote and encourage the use of renewable energy through appropriate incentive legal measures, known as positive legal discrimination, which will reduce import dependency on fossil fuels and subsequently strengthen national energy security.
Following the unprecedented crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Slovenia''s recovery and resilience plan has responded to the urgent need to foster a strong recovery, while making Slovenia''s economy and society more
Slovenia has put in place a National Renewable Action Plan to 2020, which targets a 25% share of energy generation from renewable sources in gross final energy consumption and 39% of electricity demand met by electricity generated from renewable energy so
Reform of the promotion of renewable energy sources in Slovenia. The objective of the reform is to accelerate the roll-out of renewable technologies in the electricity sector. The reform will also support the national contribution to the
The objectives of the component "Renewable energy and energy efficiency" are to increase the use of renewable energy sources, improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The reforms supporting the investments
Slovenia will promote and encourage the use of renewable energy through appropriate incentive legal measures, known as positive legal discrimination, which will reduce import dependency on fossil fuels and subsequently
As the renewable energy industry continues to grow rapidly worldwide, Vermeer equips you with specialized equipment and support solutions — including an extensive dealer network — for the installation of biomass, geothermal, solar and wind power infrastructure. Vermeer has the equipment you need to bring renewable energy solutions to
Knowledge is the key to efficient energy management! Slovenia has more than 200 experts who received international EUREM training. of energy performance contracting which represents an important way of financing the measures of energy efficiency and renewable energy resources. Energy Efficiency Centre provides various services and
The NEPN is a strategic document laying down the objectives, policies and measures for Slovenia on the five dimensions of the Energy Union for the period up to 2030 (with a view to 2040): decarbonisation (greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and renewable energy sources (RES)), energy efficiency, energy security, the internal energy market and research,
New legislation identified priority locations for solar and wind farm installations and removed barriers to new renewable energy projects. As a result, Slovenia announced a steady pipeline of new solar projects in recent months, ranging from a 9.9 MW solar power plant in Prapretno to a 3MW solar power plant at the Port of Koper.

6 competitiveness of the economy. Increasing the efficient use of energy (and, consequently, reducing its use) is the first and key measure of Slovenia towards a low-carbon society. Supply security is one of the three basic pillars of energy policy, and is inseparably related to climate sustainability and competitiveness of energy supply.

The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
