Is there help with energy costs in Slovenia?
Many countries have a social tariff, a discount or an allowance for people on a low income, and free advice on saving energy.
📜 The rules in Slovenia
Help if money is tight
There is no social energy tariff. Instead, vulnerable households that cannot afford another energy source have a right to emergency supply (nujna oskrba): the grid operator may not cut them below the minimum needed for life and health.
Free energy advice
Free, independent energy advice for citizens from local ENSVET offices run by Eko sklad: saving energy, renovation, heating choice and Eko sklad subsidies and loans.
Regulated price
There is currently no government price cap for households. Temporary caps applied to electricity until 28 February 2025 and to gas until 30 April 2024. Prices are set by suppliers; compare offers in the official comparator.
