🔌 Power cut in Slovenia: who do I call?

The short answer

For a power cut you call the grid operator, not the company that bills you. The grid operator owns the cables and repairs faults.

📜 The rules in Slovenia

Power cut

Report power cuts to the electricity distribution company for your area (Elektro Celje, Gorenjska, Ljubljana, Maribor or Primorska), which run the network for ELES. Planned cuts must be announced; you can claim damages for an unjustified disconnection.
