Slovenia targets 800MW energy storage by 2035 with HSE’s PHES and BESS projects

Slovenia's state-owned utility HSE is driving the country's energy transition with the deployment of 800MW of energy storage by 2035, including 590MW of pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) and 150MW of battery energy storage (BESS).

This effort complements Slovenia's renewable energy expansion targets of 1,400 MW of solar and 70 MW of wind capacity, increasing grid flexibility and energy security. The strategy includes co-locating BESS with solar and PHES projects, using the EU's Just Transition Fund and state aid for financing. Currently, the BESS market is led by independent power producer (IPP) NGEN, indicating a growing role for battery storage in Slovenia.
