Slovenia is committed to the energy transition so that the country can achieve the goal of zero emissions by 2050 

In accordance with the long-term climate strategy, the Slovenian government passed a law in April 2021 that requires the country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 90 % by 2050. In the areas of transport and energy, emissions are to be reduced by 90 to 99 percent, in agriculture by 5-22 percent and in industry by 80-87 percent.

The plan also requires a large-scale restructuring of energy sources as overall electricity consumption is likely to increase significantly with the move to e-mobility and the increased use of electricity in industry and heating.

This field also includes the phase-out of coal, which is currently planned for 2033, and the use of natural gas as a “ transition technology ”. At the same time, electricity generation from hydropower in particular is to be expanded and new wind and solar power plants to be built.

The strategy also creates the basis for the construction of a new unit in the only Slovenian nuclear power plant in Krško to date. The current reactor is to be decommissioned in the near future. The plan also creates “ the basis for planning the second nuclear power plant,” said Environment Minister Andrej Vizjak.

The minister went on to say: " This strategy sets a clear course for Slovenia's long-term development change and increases predictability for companies, investors and consumers "

With an area of ​​20,273 km2 and around 2.1 million inhabitants, Slovenia is a relatively small country and only has a single wind turbine in operation. We want to remedy this with the construction of the wind farm in the south of the country. In this area there are strong winds and we have secured an area for the construction of a hybrid park of around 75 MW wind power and 15 MW photovoltaic capacity After the building permit, construction can begin in summer 2023.

Slovenia still has great potential for wind energy and we continue to strive to build appropriate wind farms.

We are looking forward to your contact
