Slovenia has officially kicked off the development of its next Comprehensive National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), mapping out the nation’s strategic framework for the 2030–2040 decade. To lay a robust foundation for future policy, the government is urging both citizens and industry experts to contribute to the design of long-term development scenarios. The public consultation window for these foundational scenarios is open from now until 22 June 2026.
As the primary blueprint guiding Slovenia’s green transition, the NECP aligns near-term infrastructure development with overarching climate targets. The decades leading up to 2040 are widely considered critical, as capital-intensive investments made today in transportation, building efficiency, manufacturing, and grid infrastructure will dictate whether the country meets its ultimate climate targets.
The modeling of these new scenarios is anchored by two major environmental benchmarks: the European Union’s target of 90% net emission reduction by 2040 compared to 1990 levels, and Slovenia’s domestic pledge to attain full climate neutrality by 2045.
Kořensko hydroelectric power plant is currently undergoing the largest modernization in its 34-year history. Operated by ČEZ as part of the Vltava cascade, the multi-million-crown overhaul will replace core machinery across both of its turbine units, resulting in safer, greener, and significantly more efficient operations by next spring.
Enefit, the electricity subsidiary of Estonia's Eesti Energia, has officially opened the Strzałkowo solar park in central Poland. The newly launched facility marks a major milestone for the company, standing as its largest single renewable energy project in the Polish market to date.
The Strzałkowo facility boasts an impressive installed capacity of 45 megawatts (MW). Operational estimates suggest the site will generate approximately 45 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually.
ORLEN Group has just secured a landmark deal to acquire a 216 MW hybrid renewable energy complex in Kazimierz Biskupi, marking a significant milestone in Poland’s green energy transition. By pairing a large-scale solar farm with wind turbines, the project aims to power nearly 143,000 households annually.
