Energy statistics, 2024
Energy dependence lower, final consumption higher
Domestic energy production in 2024 was about the same as in the previous year, while total final energy consumption increased by 3%. Energy dependence decreased by 3 percentage points.
More than half of the energy demand met with domestic energy resources
Domestic energy production in 2024 was almost 141,000 terajoules (TJ) or about as large as a year earlier. Nuclear energy accounted for the largest share (around 45%), followed by renewable energy sources (including hydro energy) (just over 37%) and energy from coal (17%). With domestic energy resources, Slovenia met more than half (55%) of its energy demand, while the remaining amount was imported. Compared to the previous year, energy dependence decreased by 3 percentage points.
Petroleum products prevailed in the energy supply
Considering energy import and export, more than 267,000 TJ were available for energy supply last year. In the structure of energy supply, petroleum products prevailed with 34%, followed by nuclear energy (23%), energy from renewable sources (including hydro energy) (20%), coal (12%) and natural gas (11%).
The largest share of energy again for transport
Final energy consumption in Slovenia in 2024 was over 196,000 TJ or 3% more than a year earlier. Consumption in the transport sector represented the highest share (42%), followed by manufacturing and construction (24%), households (22%), service activities (9%) and other users (3%).
Petroleum products represented the highest share in final energy consumption (47%), followed by electricity (23%), renewable energy (14%), natural gas (12%), heat (3%), and solid fuels (1%).
Most energy in households again for space heating
Final energy consumption in households was around 43,000 TJ or 1% less than a year earlier. Most of the final energy in households was consumed for space heating (60%), followed by lighting and electrical appliances (19%), water heating (16%), cooking (4%) and space cooling (1%).
Among energy sources consumed in households, electricity with 35% and wood fuels with 33% prevailed, followed by extra light heating oil with around 8%, natural gas with around 7%, ambient heat (utilized by heat pumps) also with 7%, district heat with around 6%, liquefied petroleum gas with 2%, and solar energy with 1%.
Electricity prevailed among energy sources consumed in service activities
Energy consumption in service activities (NACE sections of activities G–S) amounted to around 16,000 TJ or 2% more than a year earlier.
The largest share of energy was consumed in trade activities (26%), followed by accommodation and food service activities (15%), human health and social work activities (13%), education (11%), transportation and storage (9%), information and communication activities (6%), public administration and compulsory social security (also 6%) and professional, scientific and technical activities (5%). Other activities (arts, entertainment and recreation, financial and insurance activities, administrative and support service activities and other service activities) had smaller shares. In total their share was 9% of the total energy consumption of the service activities.
In the structure of energy consumption, the largest share of the total consumption was represented by electricity (61%), followed by natural gas (12%), district heating (10%), extra light fuel oil (6%), wood fuels (5%) and other energy sources (6%).
