/LONDON, April 18, 2023, 10:30 BST, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ By the end of 2022, Slovenia had a cumulative installed capacity of 711MW and registered an increase of 250MW compared to 2021. The country scored its best year in 2022 regarding the YoY growth in new solar PV capacity additions. The residential solar market accounted for almost all of the new capacity additions, according to the Western Balkans Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook 2023÷2032 Solar demand in Slovenia will continue as the main drivers will be prolonging the net-metering scheme extension until the end of 2023 and the energy crisis in Europe. The Ministry of Infrastructure is drafting a plan to install a new 1,000MW (1 GW) solar PV capacity in Slovenia with the support of the national transmission system operator (ELES) and the distribution system operator SODO.
