Highlights

  • Slovakia aims to reach 19% of renewables in final energy consumption in 2030.
  • The country unveiled its first climate law and confirms its objective to be carbon neutral in 2050.
  • Historical companies still dominate the power and gas markets: 64% of power generation for SE and 60% of gas sales for SPP.
  • E.ON controls most of power distribution and sales.
  • Slovnaft operates the sole refinery.
  • Nuclear dominates the power mix, with a substantial increase in 2022 (+ 8 points to 60%). Unit 3 of the Mochovce nuclear power plant was commissioned in 2023.
  • Gas and electricity prices for industrial skyrocketed by 123% and 83%, respectively, in 2022.
  • Primary energy intensity to the GDP is decreasing very rapidly (2.5%/year since 2010).
  • Gas consumption dropped by 19% in 2022, as consumption from the power sector plummeted by 43% due to rising gas prices.
  • Unit 4 of the Mochovce nuclear power plant will be commissioned in 2024.
  • Slovakia is strengthening its gas interconnections in Central Europe and is planning a major gas pipeline to Bulgaria.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Economy is responsible for energy issues through its Energy Section.

    The Office for Regulation of Network Industries (URSO) regulates the electricity and gas sector. The Ministry of Economy may reject the decisions taken by the regulator regarding energy prices but is obliged to publish its objections.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Slovakia's hydrocarbon reserves are limited (4.1 bcm of gas and 1.9 Mt of crude oil at the end of 2022). It has significant reserves of lignite (135 Mt). The country's hydropower potential is estimated at 10 TWh/year.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Motor fuel prices rose significantly in 2022 (+22% and +39% for gasoline and diesel), following the surge in global crude prices. They dropped by 5% and 10%, respectively, in 2023. Fuel prices were relatively stable between 2017 and 2019, before a significant drop in 2020 (-12%). Prices are slightly lower than the EU average (-6%).

  • Energy Consumption

    At 3.2 toe, total energy consumption per capita is 10% above the EU average; power consumption per capita is 20% lower (4 400 kWh) (2022).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    According to SEPS's Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) 2020-2029, electricity consumption should increase by an average rate of 1.2%/year until 2028, to nearly 36 TWh. The installed capacity should increase by more than 1 GW, delivering 8 TWh of new power generation, of which 0.9 GW from nuclear (new Mochovce units).
