Slovenia meets 2023 renewable energy target

Slovenia has successfully met its 2023 renewable energy target, with renewable sources accounting for 25.07% of the country’s gross final energy consumption, in line with the European Union’s directive to boost the share of renewable energy.

This represents a slight increase of 0.07% from 2022, a year in which Slovenia also met its renewable energy target through statistical transfers from Croatia.

The renewable energy share in Slovenia’s electricity sector rose by 4.88%, reaching 41.89%, largely driven by a 52.48% increase in solar power generation. In the transport sector, the renewable share increased by 2.19% to 10.02%, with a notable 49.09% rise in the use of renewable electricity in road transport, as well as a 19.86% increase in biofuel consumption.

In heating and cooling, the share of renewables rose by 0.31% to 34.3%, although total energy consumption in this sector dropped by 1.87%, and renewable consumption decreased by 0.96%. The use of wood fuels, a primary source for household heating, fell by 6.52%.

Slovenia’s domestic energy production increased by 7% in 2023, totaling approximately 141,000 TJ, with nuclear energy accounting for 43%, renewables nearly 36%, and coal 21%. Domestic production covered 52% of the country’s energy needs, reducing dependence on external energy sources by 5% compared to the previous year.

Overall final energy consumption in 2023 was approximately 191,000 TJ, down 5% compared to the previous year. The transport sector remained the largest energy consumer at 41%, followed by manufacturing and construction at 24%, households at 23%, services at nearly 10%, and other sectors at 3%.
