Utilization of RES for heat and electricity in Slovakia

The only one data available in Slovakia result from available statistic, which is incomplete (mainly in production of heat) and sometimes very different, as follows. Present utilization of RES for heat and electricity production isn’t still measuring up the level of EU 15 countries. RES utilization presents only 2, 6 % of primary energy sources. It is utilized about 27 % of technical potential of RES in the Slovakia. Except for big hydropower plants the potential is utilized only on 17 %.

Table: Electricity production from RES in 2002-2004 (GWh) and targets for 2010 and 2015

Source	2002	2003	2004	2010	2015
	[GWh]	[GWh]	[GWh]	[GWh]	[GWh]
Hydropower plants - total	5169	3671	4207
From that small hydro	245	192	107	350	400
Windpower plants	0	2	6	300	900
Biomass (with solid municipal waste)	153	84	33	410	650
Biogas	6	2	2	180	300
Geothermal energy	-	-	-	-	40
Solar energy	-	-	-	-	10
Total	5428	3567	4141	1 240*	2 300*
The share in total electricity consumption	0,186	0,124	0,144	4 %*	7 %*

In the heat production from RES there is possible to view important growth of biomass utilization for this purpose. It is caused mainly by rise in the gas price.
