3.5.6 SLOVENIA RENEWABLES
In Slovenia the renewables have a high share in power generation (approximately
43%), and among the renewables hydro has the highest share, as shown in the
figure below Slovenia has already fulfilled the EU 2020 requirements.
Figure 3.19 and 3.20 presents the historical and forecasted evolution in the use of
renewable sources for power generation in Slovenia.
The increase of the, already predominant, hydropower is expected to exceed the
increase of all other renewable sources, among which biomass is to be the more
important.

3.5.7 SLOVAKIA RENEWABLES
Figure 3.21 shows the breakdown of (actual and
forecasted) power generation by energy source in
Slovakia between 2010 and 2030. The dominant
source of electricity production is nuclear energy.
In 2015 nuclear power plants produced 56% of
total electricity consumption. Electricity from coal
covered 10% of the total production.
Among the renewables hydropower plants are on
the first place, in 2015 covering 16% of the total
production, followed by biomass and biogas with
7% share. Photovoltaic installations accounted
for 2% of electricity production.
Share of biomass and biogas is expected to in-
crease by 2030. The forecast growth from 2015 to
2030 is 850GWh (68%). Significant increase is
also expected in wind power production
