🏘️ Can I share solar power with neighbours or join an energy community in Slovenia?

The short answer

Energy sharing lets households use power produced by a shared installation, a neighbour or a community project. Whether and how it works depends on the national rules.

📜 The rules in Slovenia

Energy sharing and communities

Under ZOEE-A, from 1 July 2026 every customer has the right, as an active customer, to share electricity on the basis of a contract. The electricity operator must be told about the sharing contract at least two weeks before it starts.

  • Shared electricity is settled in 15-minute intervals, so a smart meter is needed. (uradni-list.si)

❓ Questions

Do I have to own solar panels?

No. In many schemes you can take part as a member or user without owning an installation.

Does my supplier stay the same?

Usually yes. The shared power is counted first and your supplier provides the rest.

Who registers the sharing?

Normally the grid operator or the body named on this page. Ask them before you start.
