RS št. 57/04) The basic targets of energy sector in Slovenia Qualitative energy services, based on better use of energy, should obtain optimal combination of reliability, competition and environment protection from the points of view of all implemented subjects. On the base of upper sentence, three basic targets have been set: reliable supply of energy, consumer protection (the lowest possible prices), environmental protection.
NEP targets: Reliable supply Differentiation and diversification of energy sources on long term, Improve technical and economic operation of Slovenian producers of electricity, Insure at least 75 % of electricity system services on the territory of Slovenia, Have oil stocks for at least 90 days of consumption on the territory of Slovenia, Preserve technically reliable functioning of energy networks NEP targets: Consumer protection Opening of natural gas market for all consumers (2007), Opening of electricity market for all consumers (2007), To insure efficient and transparent functioning of energy markets, To insure economic and technically efficient operation of energy public services.
NEP targets: Environment 1. ENERGY EFFICIENCY Increasing energy efficiency in industry for 10 % till 2010 Increasing energy efficiency in buildings for 10 % till 2010 Increasing energy efficiency in public sector for 15 % till 2010 Increasing energy efficiency in transport for 10 % till 2010 Doubling the share of electricity from CHP till 2010 2. RENEWABLES Increasing the share of renewables in primary energy consumption on 12 % till 2010 Increasing the share of renewables for heat on 25 % till 2010 Increasing the share of RES for electricity on 33,6 % till 2010 Increasing the share of biofuels on 5 % till 2010 Measures in energy efficiency - Informing and educating, - Providing energy advice to households, - Subsidising of energy audits, local energy concepts, investment documentation for RUE, - Prescribing obligatory billing of heat consumption in households (Parliament procedure), - Financial incentives to households for RUE, - Financial incentives to companies and municipalities for RUE investments
Electricity from RES Feed-in tariffs for RES Producers who generate electricity in individual production facilities with higher-than-average actually achieved efficiency in the cogeneration of electricity and heat, or who use renewable energy sources Network operators (TSO & DSOs) are responsible for purchase of all electricity offered by QP at the price determined by the Government Heat from RES - Informing and educating, - Providing energy advice to households, - Subsidising of investment documentation for RES, - Financial incentives to households for RES, - Financial incentives to companies and municipalities for RES investments.
Biofuels The Excise Duty Act (Official Gazette 84/98, as last amended in 42/04) exempts biofuels used as motor fuels from the excise inspection and payment system when used in their pure form. When biofuels are blended with fossil fuels, a maximum 25% exemption from the payment of excise duty can be claimed. Rules on the content of biofuels in motor vehicle fuels determine: the type of biofuels that can be used for transport, and the minimum content of biofuels in motor vehicle fuels to be ensured by distributors for each calendar year up to 2010: at least 1,2% in 2006, at least 2% in 2007, at least 3% in 2008, at least 4% in 2009, and at least 5% in 2010.
