Electricity prices in Slovenia have experienced a notable decrease in 2025, benefiting both residential and commercial consumers. According to data released by Slovenia’s Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy, the retail electricity prices have dropped significantly compared to the previous year, indicating a shift in the energy market dynamics.
For households with average electricity consumption, the price fell to just over 195 euros/MWh, marking a reduction of approximately 4% from 2024. In contrast, non-household consumers, including businesses and institutional users, saw an even steeper decline of around 13%, with average prices falling to slightly below 181 euros/MWh.
Interestingly, while the overall bills for households decreased, the cost of energy itself saw an increase. The supply price rose by about 7%, reaching 111 euros/MWh before VAT, which constituted nearly 57% of the total electricity bill. Network fees emerged as the second-largest component of household electricity costs, averaging just above 42 euros/MWh, a reduction of almost one-third compared to the previous year. Additionally, excise duties accounted for roughly 0.8%, while value-added tax (VAT) contributed around 18%.
The commercial sector also noted significant shifts in its cost structure. The average supply price for non-household consumers decreased to 116.7 euros/MWh, excluding VAT, reflecting a 13% decrease from 2024. Network fees for commercial users similarly fell by this proportion, averaging 20.7 euros/MWh.
For businesses, the cost of electricity supply comprised nearly 79% of their final bill, with network charges representing around 14%. Additional energy-related levies averaged 9.5 euros/MWh, which is a decline of about 14% compared to the previous year. However, excise duties for non-household electricity consumption saw a slight increase, rising to 1.3 euros/MWh, approximately 2% higher than in 2024.
This trend of decreasing electricity prices amidst rising supply costs highlights the evolving landscape of Slovenia’s energy market and may have implications for future regulatory policies and consumer behavior.
