SLOVENIA RENEWABLE INCENTIVES

In Slovenia, electricity from renewable sources is mostly promoted through a feed-in tariff and a premium tariff and through a series of subsidies and loan possibilities. Renewable energy sources for heating purposes are promoted mainly through loans and subsidies. The main incentive for renewable energy use in transport is a quota system and certain tax exempts.

Access of electricity from renewable energy sources to the grid shall be granted with priority for RES-E installations. With regard to the use of the grid, renewable energy shall be given priority. The grid development is a matter of the grid operator and cannot be enforced directly.

There is number of policies aiming at promoting the development, installation and use of RES installations. SLOVENIA RENEWABLE INCENTIVES

ELECTRICITY

Support schemes

In Slovenia, electricity generated from renewable energy is supported mainly through a feed-in tariff and a premium tariff. Certain producers (“qualified producers”) of electricity from renewable sources may choose between a guaranteed feed-in tariff and a bonus (“premium”) on top of the free market price for electricity. Furthermore, in Slovenia public calls for subsidy applications are organised and loans are provided for projects in the field of renewable energy. SLOVENIA RENEWABLE INCENTIVES

TRANSPORT – MOBILITY

Support schemes

In Slovenia, the main support mechanisms for RES in transport are a quota system and a tax regulation mechanism (excise duty relief). The quota system mainly obliges the state to achieve a certain percentage of biofuels in the fuel market. The companies importing and producing petrol, gas or diesel fuels are therefore obliged to ensure that biofuels are offered at their petrol stations.
