The European Commission has approved a €59 million state aid scheme in Slovenia. The funding aims to support the installation of at least 370 MWh of new stand-alone battery energy storage capacity (BESS) across. The scheme was approved under the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF) which was adopted by the European Commission on 25 June 2025.
Furthermore, the scheme will be financed through the Just Transition Fund and the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) Modernisation Fund. Financial support will be provided as direct grants for the construction of BESS, with aid determined based on the investment cost of each project. The grants will be awarded before 31 December 2030 under a budgeted support scheme.
In September 2025, the European Commission approved funding of €76.3 million under CEF Energy to support three cross-border renewable energy initiatives. The projects were selected from the 2024 call for works and studies and are expected to promote cooperation across borders, expand clean energy deployment, and contribute to the European Union’s energy and climate goals.
