In the first quarter of 2026, Slovenia's hydroelectric plants generated 718 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity, a notable decline attributed to insufficient river flows. As a result, reliance on fossil fuel power plants increased to compensate for the loss in hydropower. This transition could negatively affect Slovenia's sustainability goals and emissions targets, highlighting the vulnerability of renewable energy sources to climatic variability.
