Slovak Market Outlook for Renewables 2025_SAPI
This Outlook analyses the five key renewable electricity sources, namely solar PV, onshore wind, hydropower, bioenergy, and geothermal, along with, for the first time, battery energy storage
Despite its high potential, wind energy remains largely untapped in Slovakia due to its perceived instability and regulatory hurdles. Since 2009, the construction of wind power plants has almost complitely halted, with two small wind parks existing in Cerová and Myjava.
Biomass currently dominates electricity generation from renewables, followed by biogas, solar, and hydropower. Despite its high potential, wind energy remains largely untapped in Slovakia due to its perceived instability and regulatory hurdles.
Slovakia currently operates 2 wind farms, comprising a total of 5 turbines. The most recent wind farm, located in Ostrý vrch (Trenčín Region), has an installed capacity of 0.5 MW and was commissioned in 2004. The Cerová Wind Farm located in the Trnava Region, was commissioned in 2003 and consists of 4 turbines with a total capacity of 2.6 MW.
The integration of SHPPs into Slovakia's energy mix could be a strategic move towards enhancing the country's energy landscape, offering a sustainable and efficient method to increase renewable energy production while contributing to local development and environmental conservation.
