Energy from renewable sources is a measure of obtaining clean energy which is necessary for environmental protection. The utilization of renewable energy sources is low due to inadequate support schemes, difficulties in implementation its technology in space and public disapproval, and problems with transmitting energy to outdated electrical infrastructure.
The work is based on the use of descriptive and comparative methods. The main purpose of these methods is to present the state of energy from renewable sources. Slovenia has achieved the target of a 25% share of gross final energy consumption from renewables by 2020. In 2021, the share remained the same, but Slovenia is on track to achieve the goal of a 27% share of gross final energy consumption by 2030, which will be accomplished with the help of the Recovery and Resilience Plan, developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The "Fit for 55" plan sets a target of at least a 10% share of energy from renewables in the transport sector by 2020, which Sweden has achieved with a record 30.42% share, while Slovenia reached a 10.9% share. It was found that Sweden is the leading country in the European Union in terms of renewable energy use, while Slovenia ranks 11th among the EU-27 countries.
The work extensively presents the state of renewable energy, our misconception about (in)dependence on fossil fuel imports, and the lack of government support for renewable energy development. Therefore, it could benefit experts in preparing measures to improve the situation. The limitation of the work lies in the extensive topic and rapidly changing energy policies. The work can help the general public by providing easier understanding of the subject matter and a clearer picture of the necessary measures for transitioning to a carbon-neutral society.
