• The structure of primary energy sources
  consumption in Slovakia is relatively
  inconvenient and it isnt changing significantly.
  Native fossil fuel sources share on total fuels
  consumption is only 10 and other 90 have to be
  imported. High dependency of fuels consumption in
  Slovakia on imports requires rationalisation of
  energy consumption and management, securing of
  long-term safe foreign supply and RES utilization
  development.

Energy supply
Energy consumption (472 148 TJ)
RES make up approx. 3 of total primary energy
sources consumption. Large HPP excluded. Natio
nal target of 31 RES electricity decreased to
19 in 2010 under BAU, resp. 24 under SI
scenario.

  and 2004/8/EC) implementation
  
• Facing barriers of RES-E integration into energy
  supply
  
• Regulation framework for RES-E production fixed
  feed-in tariffs, guarantee of origin of
  electricity produced from renewable, connection
  conditions
• RES-E production in practise
• RES research, building of consortia for future EU
  framework programmes.

• The most important Slovak energy sector
  stakeholders like relevant ministries, regulatory
  office for the network industries, distribution
  company and RES-E power producers presented their
  approach regarding renewable electricity
  production, distribution and consumption in
  Slovakia.
• Main mission of the CEERES National Seminar and
  Excursion to the first wind power plant connected
  to the Slovak power-grid called Cerová is the
  increase of public awareness and promotion of
  sustainable energy production and use among
  individuals and organisations, private companies
  and public authorities, professional and energy
  agencies, industry associations and NGOs in
  Slovakia.
