"Current production, CO2 emissions, and consumption of electricity in Slovenia" shows current electric power generation in Slovenia, calculated CO2 emissions from the life cycle of these power plants, and actual electricity consumption in Slovenia. The data source is the hourly power of individual power plants, published and available on the ENTSO website, and hourly electricity consumption, published and available on the ENTSO website.

The current power of Slovenian power plants ∑ 2.181 MW

The source of data is the hourly power of individual Slovenian power plants, published and available on the ENTSO website applying to:

  • the entire nuclear power plant,
  • all hydro power plants,
  • other renewable energy source power plants (total power of all solar, wind, biomass, and waste-to-energy power plants),
  • all coal-fired and gas-fired thermal power plants.

Average CO2 emissions  ∑ 537,7 t

CO2 emissions are calculated from the hourly power of power plants and represent only an estimate of the CO2 emission rate for the existing Slovenian power plants in each hour of operation. Coefficients for calculating emissions (specific emissions in g CO2/kWh for each technology) are taken from the publicly published United Nations IPCC report and are also available on Wikipedia. The calculated values consider the entire life cycle of power plants, from construction to decommissioning. For individual technologies or sources, the internationally recognized coefficients are the following:

  • Nuclear power plant: 12 g CO2eq/kWh
  • Hydro power plants: 24 g CO2eq/kWh
  • Solar power plants: 45 g CO2eq/kWh
  • Coal-fired thermal power plants: 820 g CO2eq/kWh
  • Gas-fired thermal power plants: 490 g CO2eq/kWh
  • Wind turbines: 11 g CO2eq/kWh
  • Biomass: 230 g CO2eq/kWh
  • Waste: 230 g CO2eq/kWh

The infographic does not include data on electricity imports, representing between 15 and 20 % of all electricity consumed in Slovenia in the last decade.

The current consumption in Slovenia ∑ 1.843 MW

The current consumption shows hourly data on electricity consumption in Slovenia. It is the sum of the total load of all consumers connected to Slovenia's transmission and distribution network.
