From 2012 to 2023, the installed capacity of the systems for the production of electricity from RES has increased by 78,5%. Almost two-thirds of that increase, 51,2%, was achieved in the last four years. The indicator is currently on a trajectory of achieving the indicative targets until 2030 set in the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP).

Energy efficiency in industry improved significantly between 2005 and 2023, with a 43% increase in 2023 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.

Slovenia’s import dependence has been lower in recent years, amounting to 48% in 2023. Further increases in energy efficiency, the use of renewable sources, and the diversification of supply sources are essential. Slovenia is completely import-dependent for liquid fuels and natural gas. With regard to natural gas, Slovenia is import-dependent on two countries, Austria and Algeria. In the past, gas reaching Austria mostly came from Russia, but in recent years the supply structure has become more diversified due to the war and sanctions.

Total greenhouse gas emissions are projected to remain at similar levels as today until 2030 under projection with existing measures, then decline. Under projection with additional measures emissions will decline faster. By 35% by 2030 and by 88% by 2050. Projections show that with intensive implementation of measures, it is possible to achieve the set targets.

The intensity of GHG emissions from fuels and energy in transport in Slovenia was 4.7% lower than the baseline in 2021, which is 1.3 percentage points below the target reduction. Although the intensity is decreasing, the pace is too slow. The largest contribution to reducing intensity comes from the blending of biofuels. In the EU, the largest reductions were achieved by Sweden and Finland, along with 11 other countries that achieved reductions of 6% or more.
