Slovakia Electricity Industry Profile 2018 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Electricity
Industry Profiles Slovakia" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

Slovakia generates 71.4% of its electricity from nuclear and hydropower.
With the new nuclear units under construction, export potential is
likely to exist, but this is expected in the long-term. Slovakia's
hydropower capacity will enable it to come close to its 2020 renewable
energy target, but with limited renewable energy projects under
development, it is likely to fall just short.

In terms of new investment, a total of 14.66 billion is forecast be
invested by 2030, the majority of which will be in the remaining new
nuclear units. There is limited regulatory or incentive support for
either wind or solar power, so investment in both will be limited in the
future. Wind faces significant local opposition to new development on
aesthetic grounds.

The key drivers in the Slovakian market are a desire to reduce import
dependency, data monitoring for energy efficiency and a restructuring of
the energy mix. The major restraints are the regulatory issues and
adverse development of electricity production costs. Industrial
electricity demand is still key in this market, with industrial users
accounting for 48.1% of total demand, well ahead of commercial with
28.5% of demand. This reflects Slovakia's strong industrial performance
as a location for, among other sectors, a number of large automotive
OEMs.

Energy security and decreasing its emissions are Slovakia's priorities
for its energy transition period. Due to the insufficient political
incentives the liberalisation of Slovakia's electricity market has been
a slow process. A number of the European majors, including Enel and E.ON
own stakes in generation and transmission and distribution assets in the
country, but there are limited plans for further investment as other
country markets are prioritised.
