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.
Slovakia’s intention is to minimise the risk of stranded costs in existing energy installations. For this reason, the completion of under construction electricity sources, the gradual replacement of fossil fuel pollutants by reducing consumption and constructing renewables-based sources remain a priority.
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.
The principle set out in the Slovak Energy Policy, which, when projecting the use of RES, took into account the principle of cost minimisation in an integrated approach to the use of RES and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, remains valid for the next period.
A Memorandum of Understanding between SE, a.s. and Framatome was signed in June 2023 and a nuclear fuel supply contract for Bohunice and Mochovce power plants was signed in July 2024, thereby taking an important step towards enhancing Slovakia’s energy security.
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.
