Abstract

Electricity supply in Slovenia is largely dependent on traditional non-renewable sources of electrical energy. In spite of some efforts made to change the sources of electrical energy, not significant shifts from traditional non-renewable fossil sources of electrical energy to renewable sources of electrical energy are found. Electricity supply from water resources is dependent on natural conditions, but it is particularly biased on the adverse weather conditions. The changing weather conditions between raining and sunshine periods are a reason for the needs to diversify supply of electrical energy from hydro renewable sources of energy to a combination with solar energy and co-production of energy from biomass and other renewable sources of energy. There is a need for changes in green electrical energy supply not only towards hydro resources, but particularly towards other renewable sources of electrical energy such as solar, biomass, thermal water, wind and biogas energy.
