Which sectors consume the most energy in Slovenia?
The transportation and industrial sectors were the largest consumers of energy in Slovenia in 2019. Slovenia is a net energy importer, importing all its petroleum products (mainly for the transport sector) and natural gas, as well as some coal. Slovenia has a target of reducing greenhouse gasses by 18% in 2030 when compared to 2015.
Does Slovenia use oil to generate electricity?
Following steep declines in use since 1990, Slovenia eliminated the use of oil for generating electricity in 2019. Renewable energy sources other than hydropower (e.g., biofuels, solar PV, waste, and wind) together provided 3.5% of total electricity generation in 2019.
Is Slovenia a sustainable country?
The World Energy Council ranks Slovenia as 10th in terms of energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability. Slovenian electricity production is already today one of the least carbon-based in the EU. In 2016, 71% of domestic electricity production came from low-carbon sources (the EU average is 58%).
Is Slovenia a good country for energy?
In spite of its small size, Slovenia has achieved enviable results in the field of energy. The World Energy Council ranks Slovenia as 10th in terms of energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability. Slovenian electricity production is already today one of the least carbon-based in the EU.
Why did Slovenia not set a target for Energy Connectivity?
In parallel, Slovenia did not set any target regarding energy connectivity since it already significantly exceeded the EU target for 2030, whereas the objective for RES remained cautiously unambitious on account of abovementioned relevant national circumstances, i.e. at least 27% of renewable sources (while the EU target is 32%; ibid.).
How can Slovenia transition to climate neutrality?
On one it hand recognises the existence of challenges and relevant circumstances, inter alia transport, environmental restrictions, and spatial planning, on all three levels, i.e. (energy) regime, landscape, and niche, which have to be taken into account to develop an optimal strategy for Slovenia’s energy transition to climate neutrality.

Slovenia, both as an independent party and a member of the , signed the in 2016. The European Union Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) towards climate goals includes Slovenia. In the December 2020 update to the European Union NDC, Slovenia committed to the common goals and to reduce its emissions from outside of the by 15% from 2005 levels by 2030. For comparison. [pdf]
