The European Commission has approved the amended Slovenian support scheme for renewable energy and high-efficiency cogeneration (CHP), considering that the amended scheme would increase renewable energy production in line with EU energy objectives without unduly distorting competition.
Slovenia aims to acheive 25% of renewable energy sources in its gross electricity consumption by 2020 and reached 21% in late 2014. In May 2015, Slovenia notified plans to amend their existing support scheme for renewable energy and high-efficiency CHP to make it more cost-effective and improve the integration of renewable electricity into the market, in order to allow the 25% target to be reached. The new scheme introduces a tender process to select who will receive support under the scheme and determines the appropriate level of that support. In addition a market premium is introduced for operators above 500 kW (those below this threshold will continue to receive a feed-in tariff).
