In October HSE’s power plants produced a total of 995 GWh of electricity, which is the highest monthly output in the company’s history, Slovenian state-owned energy company HSE said.
The statement from the company said that production in October was 50 % above planned and represents about 13 % of HSE’s annual electricity generation. HSE operates two hydropower subsidiaries – Dravske Elektrarne Maribor (DEM) and Soske Elektrarne Nova Gorica (SENG), and coal-fired thermal power plant Sostanj, with combined installed capacity of 1,990 MW. Such results have been achieved due to excellent hydrological conditions, high reliability of the plants and favorable conditions in the energy market.
On 13 October, HSE’s power plants produced a total of 36.7 GWh of electricity, which is the record daily production.
HSE generates 70 % of the electricity produced in Slovenia and 86 % of the electricity from renewable energy sources in the country.
