  1. Some Energy Policy Issues in Slovenia Pavel Gantar PhD

  2. Introduction remarks • National energy policy (NEP) = decision making process in public domain to secure a reliable provision of energy to enable the social and economic development. • NEP is at the crossroads of different other policies /environmental, transport, housing, agricultural) and therefore cannot be regarded as isolated. • Value orientations in a society play an important role in defining the goals of NEP; • Limited sovereignty of the NEP of Slovenia • What follows: • Energy identity card of Slovenia • Open energy policy issues in Slovenia

  6. Energy policy under question • In 2004 National Assembly (Parliament) adopted the National Energy Programme (NEPr) 2004-2020; • “climate/energy package” in 2007 - NEPrhas become outdated; • February 2012: Draft version of the new NEPr prepared; • 2011: Change of Government: focusing on new Energy act • 2014: new Energy act adopted – does not foresee NEPr but ECS – different structure • Slovenian energy policy is in some sort of disarray: • Technically the 2004 NEPr is still valid, yet outdated and purely accomplished; • The future of the new 2012 draft NEPr is unknown, • The new Energy act is not operational enough to take urgently needed decisions

  7. Some open policy issues • In the circumstances described above, where there are relatively general energy policy orientations, there is a plenty of room for dispersed and uncoordinated decision making under the influence of the various local and energy lobbies that produce suboptimal results. • The case of TPP Šoštanj upgrade • Thecaseof NPP Krško – delayeddecisions • Undefined policy towards wind power plants

  8. Conclusion • The main problem of Slovenian energy policy is thegap between • very general goals that emphasise reliability, sustainability and competitiveness in energy provision on one side • and gradualist decision making in energy sector that often leads away from the proclaimed goals. To bridge this gape seem to be most important task of the Slovenian energy policy.
