Slovakia: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen country across all
Despite its high potential, wind energy remains largely untapped in Slovakia due to its perceived instability and regulatory hurdles. Since 2009, the construction of wind power plants has almost complitely halted, with two small wind parks existing in Cerová and Myjava.
At the end of 2022, wind power capacity in Slovakia constituted 3 MW, a number that has not changed since 2010. In the National Energy and Climate Plan the Government plans to build 500 MW of wind power by 2030. In 2023 Slovakia had 840 MW of installed solar power capacity. Biomass provides around 4% of electricity generation capacity.
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.
As reported by Slovenské elektrárne, the power plant has already generated over 150 GWh of electricity and is currently producing enough to meet the needs of approximately 750,000 households. The culmination of this testing phase will be running the unit continuously at 100% output for 144 hours.
