Summary
The Savinja and Šalek area (Slov. Savinjsko-Šaleška regija – SAŠA) and Zasavje are Slovenia’s coal regions. Along with other local economies dependent on the coal industry in the European Union, they are eligible to receive public funds for their energy transition.
The municipalities of Velenje, Šoštanj, and Šmartno ob Paki plan to tap on the EU’s Just Transition Fund together with TEŠ – part of state-owned power producer Holding Slovenske Elektrarne (HSE) – and Komunalno Podjetje Velenje (KPV) for the decarbonization of the district heating system in the Šalek valley. The three local authorities own KPV.
