Slovenia has formally approved the development of a major floating solar power project at Družmirje Lake, along with a broader plan to transform the surrounding area into a recreational and landscape hub.
The government adopted the national spatial plan for the Družmirje floating solar power plant, enabling one of the country’s most ambitious renewable energy projects to move forward. With an estimated capacity of 140 MW, the installation is expected to become one of the largest floating solar facilities in the wider region.
The approved planning document defines the technical, environmental, safety, utility, and urban design requirements necessary for project implementation. The solar plant will be installed directly on the surface of the lake and will include all associated infrastructure required for its operation.
In addition to electricity generation, the project is expected to incorporate energy storage systems and grid connection equipment, enhancing reliability and ensuring more stable power output. The initiative aims to expand Slovenia’s renewable energy capacity while efficiently utilizing an existing water surface.
The adopted spatial plan also includes supporting documentation gathered during the public consultation process, including responses to comments and proposals from municipalities and the public. These inputs were reviewed alongside the project’s variant study, environmental assessment, and draft planning proposal, ensuring that the final framework reflects both technical analysis and community feedback.
