Abstract

The European Union is a group of 28 countries in Europe and Slovak Republic is also a full member. Slovak Republic is trying to keep up with the EU Member States, which already use renewable energy. It is well known, that the use of new technologies is very expensive. It is true, that the use of these energy sources requires an initial investment, but it can reduce the cost of running a household and ultimately the investment returns. The use of these renewable energy, policy of raw materials won’t depend on the mining sector and also can reduce the negative impacts of mining on the environment. This article examines the use of renewable energy sources in Slovak Republic.
