The state of Slovenia’s power emissions

Across the 3 Slovenia power plants carrying an asset-level CO₂ figure in this open dataset, total emissions are about 3.1 Mt CO₂/yr. The single largest emitter, Sostanj (TEŠ) (coal), accounts for about 89% of that 3-plant reported subset (not of the whole country). The top three owners — Termoelektrarna Brestanica doo [100%] — control roughly 0% of that 3-plant reported subset. Most of these plants sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
