Slovenia aims to reduce overall GHG emissions by more than 35% by 2030 in comparison to 2005 levels. The country also plans to achieve more than 25% share of renewable energy in its final consumption of energy by 2030. Moreover, Slovenia has set a target to achieve over 30% energy efficiency by 2030.
The Slovenia renewable energy market report offers comprehensive information on major policies governing the renewable energy market in the country. The report also discusses renewable energy targets and plans along with the present policy framework, giving a fair idea of the overall growth potential of the renewable energy industry. Moreover, the report provides major technology-specific policies and incentives provided in the country.
What are the market dynamics in the Slovenia renewable energy industry?
The Energy Agency – ‘Agencija za energijo’ of Slovenia was set up in 2001 and acts as the energy regulator. The Energy law was introduced in 2014, which establishes the basic principles of Slovenia’s energy policy, rules that regulate the energy markets and the provision of commercial services, and basic standards for the operation of power plants and other energy installations, including requirements for the issuance of licenses and related matters.
Slovenia became a member of the European Union (EU) in the year 2004 and is obliged to follow EU directives concerning renewable energy. In 2015, Slovenia decided to amend its reframed support policy for renewable energy and cogeneration based on the European Commission’s recommendations and implemented a new policy in 2016. The amendment paved the way for the introduction of a tender-based process for the selection of renewable energy developers. The amended policy also introduced a premium tariff for operators of renewable projects with a capacity of above 500 kW. The premium is paid over the market price of electricity. Operators with projects below 500 kW continued to receive the standard Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) as per the latest rates.
What are the major policies & incentives in the Slovenia renewable energy market?
The major policies & incentives in the Slovenia renewable energy market are the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) 2021-2030, Hydrogen energy, Support Schemes – Competitive Tenders for FiTs and Premium Tariffs, Net-Metering System, Loan (Eko/Eco Fund), Subsidy Scheme of the Ministry for Infrastructure, Grid Requirements for Renewable Power Producers, and National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) 2021-2030
In 2016, Slovenia had already adopted its National Strategic Framework for Climate Change Adaptation (SOPPS) which included guidelines to incorporate adaptation more widely into policies, measures, and practices. However, by the regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (‘the Regulation’), which entered into force on 24 December 2018, all EU member states were obliged to draft and submit a National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) to the European Commission. The first draft submitted by Slovenia was rejected by the European Commission stating the goals were not adequate. In 2020, the final draft was submitted by the Slovenian government.
Hydrogen Energy
The first hydrogen refueling station in Slovenia was commissioned in 2013. It was co-financed by the EU and coordinated by the Center of Excellence for Low-Carbon Technologies (CONOT). The development of hydrogen in the country has been slow however the government has taken steps toward adopting green hydrogen. In 2017, the Slovenian government revealed its commitment to stimulate alternative fuels including hydrogen, and to stop the sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.
Loan (Eko/Eco Fund)
The environmental fund of the Republic of Slovenia provides loans at low-interest rates to renewable energy projects through tendering. The tender loan calls are for applications that subsidize the reconstruction and renovation of renewable energy plants. This loan applies to residents, local communities, and corporations. All renewable energy sources technologies are eligible for soft loans or loan guarantees. The technologies eligible for the loan are wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, hydropower, and biomass.
