What is the Slovak energy policy agenda?

The key objectives of the Slovak energy policy agenda are: increasing efficiency in the power and end‐use sectors, reducing energy intensity, reducing dependence on energy imports, expanding the use of nuclear power, increasing the share of renewables in the heat and electricity sectors, and supporting the use of alternative fuels for transport.

Should SHPPs be integrated into Slovakia's energy mix?

The integration of SHPPs into Slovakia’s energy mix could be a strategic move towards enhancing the country’s energy landscape, offering a sustainable and efficient method to increase renewable energy production while contributing to local development and environmental conservation.

Should Slovakia invest in solar energy?

Slovakia's nuclear sector already contributes significantly to its clean electricity mix, and further developments in this area would ensure a robust supply of sustainable energy. Moreover, investing in solar energy can complement nuclear power's base load capabilities, offering a balanced and resilient path forward.

How much solar power does Slovakia have in 2024?

At the end of 2024, solar PV market in Slovakia peaked at a cumulative installed power of 1,114 MW. This total is a combination of DC and AC power owing to the fact that until 2022 all data were reported only at DC side and from 2023 onwards new installations are defined at AC nominal inverter output.

Will Slovakia be a net exporter of energy in 2022?

Slovakia has a plan to get renewable sources of energy up to 19.2% by 2030. From 2024, following the completion of two new nuclear reactors, Slovakia will return to being a net exporter of electricity. Slovnaft is the largest oil refinery in Slovakia. In 2022 Slovakia sought to reduce its reliance on oil from Russia.

How is energy used in Slovak Republic?
