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.

What is the potential of photovoltaic energy 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 plants had been installed in Slovenia with a total power of 267 MW.

What is Slovenia's new solar energy plan?

The plan envisages opening the Slovenian energy market to large-scale solar plants and is intended to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels. The Slovenian solar manufacturer is offering its new product with outputs of 260 and 300W, respectively.

How much PV capacity will Slovenia have in 2021?

Slovenia’s cumulative PV capacity additions could grow from 466 MW in 2021 to 724 MW by the end of this year. The residential market will account for almost all new capacity, and demand is expected to grow under a net-metering scheme extension until the end of 2023.

How many coal-fired thermal power plants are in Slovenia?

Slovenia currently operates one coal-fired thermal power plant – the 600 MW Thermal Power Plant Šoštanj sixth unit (TEŠ), which came into operation in 2014. In January 2022, Slovenian government adopted a national strategy to phase out coal by 203, adopting a more ambitious timeline than was initially considered.

Where does Slovenia's electricity come from?
