Transmission Network Planning

In order to ensure the reliable operation of the electric power system in the future, ELES is planning to develop the transmission network.

In accordance with the applicable legislation, ELES prepares every two years the Transmission System Development Plan of the Republic of Slovenia and the Distribution System Development Plan of the Republic of Slovenia for the forthcoming ten-year period. The primary objective of these development plans is to identify the investments required in the transmission system to ensure that, through the continuous development of the network in a constantly evolving environment, the growing needs of all electricity users can be met.

When determining the network reinforcements and development measures required, ELES takes into account a range of influencing factors, including:

  • the growth in electricity demand supplied from the transmission network,
  • the impact of power flows across the Slovenian high-voltage transmission network,
  • the integration and expansion of new electricity generation sources, particularly renewable energy sources,
  • the deployment of new technologies, and
  • environmental requirements, all in line with national and European energy policy objectives.

The investments included in the development plan will provide network users with a reliable and high-quality electricity supply over the long term. At the same time, they will improve the utilisation and cost-efficiency of the Slovenian transmission system and support the gradual transition of the energy sector towards more sustainable sources of electricity generation.
