Slovenia has introduced a corporate energy storage support scheme within its 2026–2029 Development Program Plan. The initiative allocates €10 million from the Climate Change Fund to accelerate the country’s green transition and expand battery storage deployment. The measure is aimed at supporting corporate adoption of energy storage technologies as part of broader policy efforts.
Demand from prior storage subsidy call
The new programme follows market demand from businesses that participated in an earlier public call for storage subsidies. That call closed earlier this year and attracted 264 applications. Requested funding under the previous process significantly exceeded the available budget of nearly €17 million.
Subsidy terms and eligibility
Under the new framework, companies can receive subsidies covering up to 45% of eligible investment costs. Financial support is capped at €225 per kWh of installed storage capacity. Authorities said the design is intended to improve project bankability and support faster deployment of battery systems in the corporate sector.
Expected participation and policy objectives
Government estimates suggest that 300 to 500 companies could benefit from the scheme. Participation would depend on project size and the scale of investment. Officials said the programme forms part of efforts to decarbonize the economy, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and strengthen energy independence among businesses.
The authorities also expect the support to encourage further electrification of industrial processes and improve overall energy efficiency. The programme is also intended to facilitate greater integration of renewable energy into corporate energy systems across Slovenia.
