The goal is to transition Slovenia to a low-carbon circular economy to promote the long-term productivity and resilience of society. The Recovery and Resilience Plan supports projects for energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable mobility, and adaptation to the effects of climate change. It also provides investments to improve the quality of public services related to drinking water supply and wastewater collection and treatment.
Content of measure
The Recovery and Resilience Plan addresses five components:
-
Renewable energy and energy efficiency
, which includes the following targets: the deployment of more renewable energy technologies in the electricity sector; integration of renewable energy installations into the grid; promotion of energy efficiency investments in the industry; the energy efficiency of district heating and cooling systems; modernisation of the electricity distribution network.
-
Energy renovation of public buildings

Use of measure
As of May 26 2023, €197 million was spent on the Recovery and Resilience Plan. Most funds being used for the railway infrastructure improvement (€177 million), €1 million has been spent on a tool for digital management of space, environment, real estate, water and nature (‘green Slovenian location framework’). A unspecified amount of money has also been spent on modernising vocational education in order to improve preparedness for the digital and green transition. Agency SPIRIT runs a one-stop point for all activities aimed at supporting businesses in the transition to a circular economy €0.17 million (spent out of €7 million) was used for Agency SPIRIT's one-stop point for activities that support businesses transitioning to a circular economy model.

Views and reactions
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GZS) pointed out that the Recovery and Resilience Plan does not give enough resources directly to the economy. GZS said that more resources should be provided to address the challenges in the energy sector, particularly the development of new technologies.
