Context piece
- Slovenian municipalities are increasingly pursuing local electricity production to reduce costs and improve control over consumption.
- Petrol developed a community self-supply model, with Novo Mesto presented as a concrete example.
Some municipalities are turning to their own electricity production in a bid to lower costs, make better use of public buildings and gain more control over energy consumption.
Petrol has developed a community self-supply model specifically for Slovenian municipalities. The approach is presented as a way for local authorities to organize energy production and consumption within their communities.
The City Municipality of Novo Mesto is cited as one of the more concrete examples. Its costs have fallen by as much as 40 percent, raising the question of whether the same approach could work in other municipalities.
