en.Wedoany.com Reported - Slovenia has installed 87 solar power plants on public buildings and parking lots, expected to generate approximately 6.6 GWh of electricity annually, equivalent to the consumption of about 1,700 households. According to Naš stik, all plants are expected to be operational by the end of July.

The project received support from Slovenia's Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy and the European Union through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. It was implemented by a consortium of two municipalities and public institutions, with a total investment of approximately 6.5 million euros, of which 4.5 million euros came from EU funds.

The first consortium installed solar power plants with a total capacity of about 3.9 MW at 53 locations, while the second consortium added slightly over 2.4 MW at 34 locations. Construction took place from October 2025 to May 2026, coordinated by the municipality of Ravne na Koroškem. In this municipality, solar plants were installed on 13 buildings, including a health center, schools, and a local sports center.

At the project closing ceremony, Ravne na Koroškem Mayor Tomaž Rožen stated that participants expect to benefit from lower electricity costs. The generated electricity will primarily be used by the buildings where the solar plants are installed, as well as other public facilities within the same municipal area. The event also included a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a 232 kWh battery energy storage system.

Slovenian consulting company Eutrip managed, coordinated, and supervised the entire project. Eutrip noted that the project demonstrates how joint efforts can help accelerate the transition of the public sector toward energy independence.
