Affordable and clean energy

Nuclear energy is affordable and clean energy source that allows coherent development and transition to climate neutrality. In meeting this goal, it also supports the other sustainable development goals.

NEK is the main source of low-carbon energy production in Slovenia; at European level, nuclear power plants generate half of low-carbon energy.

Security of supply

In 2021, Slovenia again among the top twenty in the world on the Energy Trilemma Index

Low-carbon footprint

CO₂ emissions rise when NEK does not operate

Production performance

Due to all upgrades in past decades NEK produces one TWh more electrical energy
