During the period from 2012 to 2022, taxes on energy sources in Slovenia fluctuated, generally decreasing except for electricity for industrial consumers, where they increased due to levies. Between 2020 and 2022, temporary measures were introduced to reduce taxes on certain energy sources due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Compared to the EU-27, the taxation of electricity and natural gas for households in Slovenia was lower, while it was higher for industrial consumers; diesel fuel taxation was higher, while gasoline taxation was lower.
