REPowerEU

The measures in the new chapter complement the existing RRP measures, specifically with regard to energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and sustainable mobility. The REPowerEU chapter's objective is to become energy independent from Russian fossil fuels while accelerating the green transition by increasing the use of renewable energy sources (RES) in gross total final consumption, improving energy efficiency, accelerating the transition to zero-emission transport and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

To achieve this objective, additional legislative changes regarding RES are essential to further contribute to improving the placement of installations for the generation of energy from RES and to investments to increase the share of RES in energy production and total final consumption for the transition to a climate-neutral society. In alternative fuels infrastructure, further upgrading of the legislation planned under the reform of the C1 K4 component "Sustainable Mobility" is needed to put in place a system of funding and incentive allocation to accelerate zero-emission transport.

In the context of the REPowerEU chapter, measures totalling EUR 122 million are planned, of which EUR 117 million is available from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme's Market Stability Reserve and an additional EUR 5 million from the European fund to help Member States cope with the negative consequences of Brexit.

Upgrading the reform of the promotion of renewable energy sources in Slovenia

The upgrading of the reform of the promotion of renewable energy sources in Slovenia is a significant upgrade of the Reform of the promotion of renewable energy sources (RES) in Slovenia (C1K1), which provides for the regulation of RES usage at the national and local levels (municipalities) and the setting of a binding target for the share of energy from renewable sources in Slovenia's gross total final consumption.

Under the REPowerEU chapter, the reform will expand the scope of application by adopting a new legal basis, i.e. the Act on the siting of installations for generation of electricity from renewable energy sources.

Strengthening the electricity distribution network (medium- and low-voltage network) - investment

The objective of this investment is modernise the medium-voltage and low-voltage electricity distribution network and to enable the connection of renewables, as well as heat pumps and recharging points for electric vehicles. The investment shall promote the digitalisation of the network by covering new control systems and sensor technologies that enable interactive and intelligent monitoring, measurement, quality control or management of energy generation, transmission, distribution or consumption within the distribution network.

The investment shall result in at least 227 kilometres long new or upgraded medium-voltage network and in at least 613 kilometers long new or upgraded low-voltage network .

Energy efficiency and decarbonisation of the economy – investment

The objective of this investment is to support the decarbonisation of the economy.

The investment consists in projects in energy efficiency and decarbonisation of the economy.

Upgrading the promotion of alternative fuels infrastructure in transport – investment

The objective of this investment is to accelerate the development of a market for alternative fuels in transport and increase the uptake of zero-emission vehicles in Slovenia.

The investment consists in the delivery of hydrogen and electric buses, as well as a co-financing scheme for the purchase of zero-emission vehicles; and the registration of recharging points for zero-emission vehicles.
