Map of Slovene Nuclear Sites
Slovenia relies on nuclear power as a significant component of its energy mix. The country operates the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, which is jointly owned with Croatia and has been in operation since 1981. This plant provides around one-third of Slovenia’s electricity, making it a key contributor to its energy security and sustainability goals. Nuclear energy in Slovenia is valued for its low greenhouse gas emissions and its role in reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Discussions are ongoing about extending the plant’s operational life and building a second reactor to further strengthen Slovenia’s commitment to clean and reliable energy sources. Find out where the country’s nuclear sites are located, and what goes on at each of them, on our interactive map of Slovene nuclear sites.
Quick Guide to using the Map of Slovene Nuclear Sites
