Energy Supply
National resources
Slovenia has only few energy resources: sub-bituminous coal and lignite, and hydroelectricity represent its limited endowment.

The decline of energy demand per capita is mainly due to the reduction of energy demand in industry. The trend of steadily rising primary energy demand, which is visible in the EU and Austria, can up to now only be seen in Slovenia, and, covertly, in Hungary and Slovak Republic.
