[EN30] Production and consumption of electricity
Driving forces

Key message
Neutral

The year 2022 was exceptional for electricity production in Slovenia, as difficulties with coal supplies led to the lowest production from solid fuels since 1992, and drought also reduced production from renewable energy sources. This resulted in a record share of nuclear energy in electricity production (42%) and very low total production (13.4 TWh), the lowest since 1999. The share of domestic electricity production was 71%, below the target set in the National Energy and Climate Plan, and the annual production was 40% lower than the gross consumption. Electricity usage decreased due to lower consumption in manufacturing and construction, growing on average by 1.0% annually from 2000-2022. 42% of electricity is used in industry, followed by households and the service sector.
