Recovery and Resilience Plan / 1. Green transition / Renewable energy sources and energy efficiency in the economy
The first component of the Green transition part in Slovenia's Recovery Resilience Plan concerns renewable energy sources (RES) and energy efficiency. It includes the following measures:
- Energy efficient restructuring of RES-powered district energy systems using new technologies, EUR 11 million;
- Production of electricity from RES, EUR 50 million;
- Strengthening the electricity distribution network, EUR 80 million;
- Investments to increase energy efficiency in the economy, EUR 5 million.
The total budget of the component is EUR 146 million, or EUR 46 million in grants and EUR 100 million in loans. -
Joint Programming Plattform ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems
The Joint Programming Platform Smart Energy Systems is an important instrument to support transnational RD&D funding co-operation in the field of energy systems. The platform contributes substantially to the implementation plan of the SET-Plan working group on energy systems which is focusing on “increasing the resilience and security of the European energy systems”. Austria is leading the joint programming platform, which unites 30 funding agencies from 23 countries. The goal is to initiate and fund transnational RD&D-projects in participating countries.

Recovery, transformation and resilience plan / Modernisation of public administration (IV)
Spain submitted its recovery and resilience plan in April 2021 to the European Commission. Within the fourth pillar of the plan, one component relates to the modernisation of the public administration. This pillar is based on three energy-related projects: - Energy savings and efficiency: The objective is to improve the energy efficiency of of buidling thermal envelope and the lighting installations in public administrations - Renewable energies: Solar energy systems are to be promoted for self consumption. The plan also states a commitement to forbid the purchase of boilers using fossil fuels, in order to foster the use of renewable energies…

National Strategy for Energy Research
…the need to foster knowledge and analyses on critical minerals. Their scarcity across the globe, the structure of the supply chain as well as recycling potentials are identified as key research priorities in the first strategic orientation, which aims to “target the central themes and transformative dynamics of the energy transition”. Specifically, the Strategy aims to foster cross-cutting research through specific calls for proposals, and by incorporating the interdisciplinary nature of proposals into eligibility and selection funding criteria. The policy also aims to develop comparative research on the stability of energy systems and the means to increase their resilience.
