In a notable shift for the energy market, Slovenia has reported a decrease in electricity prices for both residential and commercial consumers in 2025, as per data released by Slovenia’s Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy. The statistics indicate a substantial reduction in retail electricity prices compared to the previous year, reflecting broader trends within the region.
Households with average consumption levels experienced an electricity price of just over 195 euros/MWh in 2025, marking a decline of approximately 4% from the average price seen in 2024. Non-household consumers fared even better, with businesses and institutional users witnessing a striking 13% year-on-year drop in prices, leading to an average cost of just below 181 euros/MWh.
Interestingly, while households benefitted from lower overall bills, the cost components associated with energy supply saw an increase. The supply price rose by about 7%, reaching 111 euros/MWh before VAT, which constituted nearly 57% of the total electricity bill. Network fees accounted for a significant portion as well, averaging slightly above 42 euros/MWh—nearly one-third lower than the previous year’s figures. Other costs included excise duties at roughly 0.8% and value-added tax (VAT) contributing around 18% to the final price.
Commercial users also experienced shifts in their cost structures. The average supply price for non-household consumers fell to 116.7 euros/MWh excluding VAT, reflecting a similar decrease of 13% compared to the prior year. Network fees for commercial users also declined by this same percentage, averaging around 20.7 euros/MWh.
For businesses specifically, the supply cost represented nearly 79% of their final bill, with network charges making up about 14%. Additional energy-related levies averaged around 9.5 euros/MWh in 2025, which is a notable decline of 14% from the previous year. However, excise duties on non-household electricity consumption saw a slight increase to 1.3 euros/MWh—approximately 2% higher than recorded in 2024.
This landscape of reduced electricity costs amid rising supply prices presents a complex scenario for both consumers and policymakers in Slovenia as they navigate energy affordability and sustainability efforts moving forward.
