The Slovakia Programme will support the renovation of public buildings applying the energy efficiency first principle. At least a medium level of renovation of the building will berequired, with the intensity of support taking into account primary energy savings.
EU funds from the Slovakia Programme are also an important source of funding for renovation through the State Housing Development Fund. Projects whose energy saving measures achieve a minimum level of savings of 30 % of primary energy will be supported.
Graph 38 and Table 44 show the evolution of emissions during this period. Based on the scenario modelling results for the National Energy and Climate Plan, Slovakia could achieve an emission reduction of 64.3 % by 2030, compared to 1990, excluding natural sinks (LULUCF) in the decarbonisation scenario.
The most significant energy savings are expected in industry. The Modernisation Fund, the Recovery and Resilience Plan and the Slovakia Programme will be the dominant financial mechanisms to support energy efficiency gains. Private financing will play a key role in terms of overall costs, especially in the household sector.
1. Slovakia has met the binding RES target of 14 % for 2020. The share of RES in gross final energy consumption reached 17.3 % in the assessment year. The proposal submitted to the European Commission in December 2018 proposed Slovakia’s contribution to the 2030 RES target of 18 %.
The key financial mechanism to support the development of electricity in Slovakia will be the Recovery and Resilience Plan – REPowerEU. The main investment will be the modernisation and digitalisation of the transmission system and regional distribution networks. The development of the electricity grid is a key part of the green transition.
