In Slovenia, almost 74% of the energy supply is available to final users. This share is influenced to by far the greatest extent by the efficiency of electricity and heat generation.

In 2024, 48% of the energy input was lost in electricity and heat generation in thermal power plants and combined heat and power plants. Compared with the EU-27 countries, Slovenia ranked in the bottom half.

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.

The emission productivity in Slovenia decreased in 2024 and amounted to 3,09 EUR₂₀₁₀/kg CO₂ eq. The preliminary estimate for 2025 indicates that emissions productivity has improved, reaching EUR 3.5 EUR₂₀₁₀/kg CO₂ eq. The progress in emission productivity in Slovenia when compared to the European Union (EU), is still relatively slow, thus there is a need to further strengthen the connection between economic development and measures for reducing GHG emissions.

Energy efficiency in industry improved significantly between 2005 and 2024, with a 45% increase in 2024 compared to 2005. The chemical industry, machinery and equipment manufacturing, non-ferrous metals, and paper manufacturing contributed the most to the improvement, while steel production and non-metallic mineral products contributed the least.

In 2025, the leverage of incentives in the public sector amounted to 32.9 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment, which was 21 euro cents less than in 2024. The decline was due to the projects supported by the Eco Fund under the calls for co-financing new investments in the construction of highly energy-efficient, nearly zero-energy buildings of general public interest. For these projects, the leverage of incentives was only 13.3 euro cents of subsidy for 1 euro of investment, while they accounted for as much as 73% of the total value of supported investments.
