[EN22] Subsidies in the energy sector
Responses

Key message
Good

It is estimated that in 2021, over €396 million in energy subsidies was allocated in Slovenia (or 356 € million when adjusted to constant prices in 2015). Incentives for environmentally harmful energy production from fossil fuels and the use of fossil fuels represented 26% of all energy subsidies in 2021, whereas this share was as high as 51% in 2015. Significant progress is observed in subsidizing production from renewable energy sources, CHP, and energy efficiency measures. In 2021, 74% of all incentives were allocated for energy efficiency measures, cogeneration, and renewable energy sources.
