ENERGY PROFILE Slovakia
Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided emissions from renewable power is calculated as
Slovakia has around 472 MW of installed solar PV power generation capacity in 2019. Solar PV is expected to claim 44% of the clean energy capacity needed to generate 2.4 TWh of electricity by 2021. In particular, solar energy provides an important contribution to meet energy needs in the electricity sector.
Slovakia solar photovoltaics is mainly driven by the residential sector. Slovakia has around 472 MW of installed solar PV power generation capacity in 2019. Solar PV is expected to claim 44% of the clean energy capacity needed to generate 2.4 TWh of electricity by 2021.
Slovakia's nuclear sector already contributes significantly to its clean electricity mix, and further developments in this area would ensure a robust supply of sustainable energy. Moreover, investing in solar energy can complement nuclear power's base load capabilities, offering a balanced and resilient path forward.
At the end of 2022, wind power capacity in Slovakia constituted 3 MW, a number that has not changed since 2010. In the National Energy and Climate Plan the Government plans to build 500 MW of wind power by 2030. In 2023 Slovakia had 840 MW of installed solar power capacity.
