Summary of support schemes
Tender. The Slovenian Energy Agency publishes annually an open call for tenders for plants producing electricity from renewable energy sources and high-efficient cogeneration for admission to the support scheme. All production facilities connected to the grid after 22 September 2014, could take part in the currently open public tender published by the Energy Agency. The operators of renewable energy plants connected to the grid before 22 September 2014 may sell their electricity to the Slovenian power market operator Borzen at a "uniform annual price", i.e. the feed-in tariff (alternatively, they can opt for a premium tariff).
Subsidies. In Slovenia the Slovenian Environmental Fund (Eko sklad) invites applications for tenders and publishes public calls on a regular basis. The Ministry of Infrastructure (Directorate for Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Sources Division) also publishes specific calls and tenders (Currently there are no public calls of the Ministry open in the field of RES).
Loans. The Slovenian Environmental Fund (Eko sklad) invites applications for soft loans.
Technologies
In Slovenia, all renewable energy generation technologies are generally eligible for support. However, there are limits to the plant size for certain technologies. Limitations on eligibility for subsidies and loans may be specified in the applicable call for applications document.
