Several decades of no new major power plant construction in Slovenia has driven the country, as well as some other countries, to a situation where the gap between consumption and production of electricity has become significant. The issue has become so serious that energy and climate policy has been placed at the top of all political debates.
Slovenia does not have gas storage facilities, with companies dependent on infrastructure in Austria and Croatia. Slovenia has expressed interest in securing U.S. LNG sources via terminals in Krk, Croatia, or Rovigo, Italy, to diversify its supply away from Russia.
This is the largest Tesla Powerpack storage system in Europe. The investment in the 12.6 MW/22.2 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) including construction, installation, and all equipment is worth EUR 15 million. In the next eight months, a second BESS will be built in Slovenia
Developer NGEN is deploying the largest battery storage units in Slovenia, Austria and Croatia, and wants to take its model beyond CEE too.
