Wind, hydro and solar energy in Slovenia

Narava je nedvomno pokazatelj sprememb, ki so nastale zaradi obremenjevanja okolja. Najbolj negativne vplive ima promet oziroma uporaba fosilnih goriv. Fosilna goriva je možno nadomestiti le z obnovljivimi viri energije, zato je njihovo izkoriščanje v prihodnosti nujno. Med obnovljive vire energije štejemo energijo sonca, vetra, vode, geotermalno energijo, energijo plimovanja ter biomaso. Slovenija zaradi svojega razgibanega reliefa predstavlja velik potencial za uporabo obnovljivih virov energije. Čeprav število vetrnih, vodnih in sončnih elektrarn pri nas narašča, je možnosti za njihovo izgradnjo še veliko. Največji potencial predstavlja sončna energija, ki je glede na zastavljene kriterije tudi najugodnejši energetski vir v Sloveniji. Žal je predvsem zakonodaja države tista, ki zavira rast in razvoj obnovljivih virov energije. Razpoložljivost obnovljivih virov energije pri nas je tolikšna, da bi samo z njihovo rabo Slovenija bila energetsko popolnoma neodvisna država.Nature is undoubtedly an indicator of changes caused by burdening the environment. Transport and the use of fossil fuels are the largest source of these negative impacts. Fossil fuels can only be replaced by renewable sources of energy, and harnessing them will be essential in the future. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydro-power, geothermal, tidal energy and biomass. Slovenia\u27s diverse terrain offers a large potential for the utilization of renewable energy sources. Although the number of wind, hydro and solar power stations in the country is increasing, there are still many opportunities for the construction of more. The largest potential lies in solar energy, which is the most cost-effective energy source per the set criteria in Slovenia. Unfortunately, national legislation hinders the growth and development of renewable energy. The abundance of renewable sources in the country is such that the use of their potential alone would enable Slovenia to become a completely energy self-sufficient country
