Both investments respond to the challenges posed by decarbonisation, distributed energy sources and electro-mobility, or the use of electricity as the main energy product in transport and heating.On 18 October 2024, the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy launched a public tender to co-finance the construction of a new or reconstruction of an existing medium-voltage distribution network for the period 2023-2026.EUR 20 million of Recovery and Resilience Facility is earmarked for this purpose. The investment is expected to be completed by 30 June 2026.Additional Links:https://www.gov.si/zbirke/javne-objave/javni-razpis-za-sofinanciranje-izgradnje-novega-ali-rekonstrukcije... https://www.energetika-portal.si/javne-objave/arhiv-energetika/javni-razpisi/r/javni-razpis... https://www.gov.si/zbirke/projekti-in-programi/nacrt-za-okrevanje-in-odpornost/o-nacrtu-za-okrevanje-in-odpornost...
