Digital event: Energy in Slovenia: Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2021

SAVE THE DATE: 7/7 – 7 July 2021, 11:00-13:00, Zoom

In July Slovenia is once again, after being successful in 2008, taking over a presiding role of the Council of the EU for the next six months. The priorities of the Presidency entail a strong agenda in the field of energy and environment, especially due to the fact that one of the largest legislative reviews will be proposed by the Commission in July in the light of the new ambitious 2030 goals – 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The goal of the Slovenian Presidency in this field is to present a progress report on the negotiations in December 2021 and submit the dossier to the French Presidency, starting 1 January 2022.

Energy Industry Chamber of Slovenia (EICS) – Energetska zbornica Slovenije (EZS) as an umbrella organisation of the energy sector in Slovenia has been deeply involved in creating Slovenia’s strategic vision in energy and climate policies. By connecting the energy organisations, we are creating a common vision for an advanced low-carbon Slovenian society.
