Environmental indicators in Slovenia


Environmental indicators are based on graphs, maps and assessments and as such present environmental trends in Slovenia. The indicators represent one of the four pillars of our environmental reporting, and are prepared in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act. The Environmental Indicators in Slovenia website enables users to browse among 180 indicators. They are based on numerical data and they indicate the state, characteristics and trends of environmental development in Slovenia. They are prepared using a systematic approach based on data and monitoring, as shown in the information pyramid.

Good

Most of industrial energy is consumed in the production of metals. In the period 2008-2012, the efficiency of energy use has increased, while the trends in individual sectors are very different and diverse.

Neutral

By 2025, the implementation of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy measures (RES) in the public sector resulted in total annual energy savings of 365 GWh, and the total annaul CO2 emissions reduction was 92 kt. Investment activity declined in 2025 due to the transition from one financial perspective to the other. In that year, energy savings amounted to 16.8 GWh and the CO2 emissions reduction was 5.3 kt, which are the lowest levels recorded in the 2018–2025 period. No 2030 targets have been set for this indicator.

Good

According to the data for 2024, GHG emissions per unit of electricity produced amounted to 175 gCO2/kWh. In the period 1992–2024, the intensity of GHG emissions decreased by 60,1%. Compared to the EU-27 average, intensity of GHG emissions in Slovenia in 2024 was 4,6% lower.

Bad

The share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the use of fuels in industry amounted to 10,7% in 2024, which was 7.1 percentage points behind the annual indicative target value. The 2024 indicative target was thus not achieved. In order to achieve the target of 30% of RES in the use of fuels in industry in 2030, the share of RES will have to increase by 19.3 percentage points or by about approximately 3.2 percentage points per year.

Bad

The total annual final energy savings due to the implementation of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy source (RES) measures in the residential sector amounted to 1,319 GWh in 2025, and the total annual CO2 emissions reduction was 306 kt. Compared to the previous year, annual energy savings decreased by 39%, while the reduction in CO2 emissions fell by as much as 45%. Lower values were only achieved in the period before 2019.

Neutral

The implicit tax rate on energy in Slovenia amounted to 250 €/toe in 2024, which is 1% higher than in the previous year but still 15% lower than in 2016, when it reached its peak in the 2012–2024 period. Compared to the EU-27, it was 0,7 % above the EU average in 2024, while it was below the European average only in the years 2020–2022 due to temporary crisis-related measures. In addition to the tax policy, the rate is also influenced by changes in the structure of energy consumption and energy efficiency.
