Slovenia has introduced a new corporate energy storage support scheme as part of its 2026–2029 Development Program Plan, allocating €10 million from the Climate Change Fund to accelerate the country’s green transition and expand battery storage deployment.
The initiative follows strong market demand from businesses in a previous public call for storage subsidies, which closed earlier this year. That program attracted 264 applications, with requested funding significantly exceeding the available budget of nearly €17 million, highlighting growing industrial interest in energy storage technologies.
Under the new framework, companies will be eligible for subsidies covering up to 45% of eligible investment costs, with financial support capped at €225 per kWh of installed storage capacity. The policy is designed to improve project bankability while stimulating faster adoption of battery systems in the corporate sector.
Authorities estimate that between 300 and 500 companies could benefit from the scheme, depending on project size and investment scale. The Government stated that the measure is part of broader efforts to decarbonize the economy, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and strengthen energy independence among businesses.
Officials also expect the program to encourage further electrification of industrial processes and improve overall energy efficiency, while supporting greater integration of renewable energy into corporate energy systems across Slovenia.
