Slovenia Weekly: A vision of Our Own

Speaking at the first expert consultation entitled "Vision 2040 – Supplying Slovenia with Electricity", Prime Minister Robert Golob emphasised that the development of clean energy technologies is among the fastest. "It is therefore important to develop our own vision for these issues and to be able to make decisions based on the broadest possible discussion. Through a series of consultations, we aim to shed light on and co-shape the vision of the Republic of Slovenia's electricity supply until 2040 from different perspectives. The key objective is to fully decarbonise our society by 2050."

Stakeholders, including representatives from energy companies, faculties, research and other organisations, had different views, but all agreed that we need to build a broader societal consensus on this issue. The purpose of this first expert consultation steered by the Prime Minister was to stimulate dialogue between experts and decision-makers and to identify the energy industry's priorities in the upcoming years, focusing on the possible scenarios for Slovenia's electricity supply and the key measures for decarbonising the Slovenian electricity sector by 2040.
