Electricity storage is not specifically considered within the Slovenian legislative framework. No subsidies are envisaged by the current legal framework, but are mentioned within the Action Plan for Energy Efficiency within the period of 2014 – 2020 as enhancing the efficiency of distribution systems for which subsidies are envisaged in the future until 2020 1 .
1.2TWh of energy storage would save €160 billion in solar integration costs by 2040. The Coalition''s five essential elements for an action plan are: Dedicated incentives for energy storage should be introduced; Permitting and grid connection rules for energy storage must be harmonised across the EU
