Renewable energy policy database and support

Summary of policies

• There is a training programme for installers of RES-installations, which is offered as a course for any interested installers on some schools in Slovenia either as part of the normal curriculum for installers or a special course.
• The certification scheme is governed in the Energy Act and is foreseen for all types of power plants – hence also for RES power plants. The Energy Agency grants these certificates.
• The public authorities show their exemplary role with the so called “green public procurement” – when procuring the authorities need to prioritise less environmentally burdensome goods, services or constructions, and when awarding a contract the basic environmental requirements need to be taken into account. Among others the electricity from RES is prioritised.
• The RES-H building obligation obliges owners of new or renovated buildings to build energy efficient buildings and also to use RES as their main source of energy.
