The Energy Transition in Slovakia

Slovakia is steadily advancing its energy transition, with a focus on integrating clean energy sources alongside its traditional energy mix of nuclear, natural gas, and coal. The country is making significant strides in battery manufacturing and clean mobility, with an emphasis on expanding its role in Europe’s electric vehicle and energy storage sectors. Slovakia’s mineral production, including copper, aluminium, and iron, supports these industries and contributes to the EU's critical mineral supply chain. The country is also investing in renewable energy, particularly solar and hydropower, to meet its climate goals. As an EU member, Slovakia aligns with regional ESG standards, ensuring that its energy and mineral policies support both economic growth and environmental sustainability. Slovakia’s geopolitical position, active participation in the EU and NATO, and commitment to sustainable practices position it as an important player in Central Europe’s energy and industrial transformation. Through its focus on green technologies and expanding mineral capacity, Slovakia is reinforcing its role in Europe’s clean energy future.
