The mine has depth of up to 500 meters. Of note, Slovenia recently adopted a renewables promotion law and it has various schemes for supporting green energy production. The company will analyze the technical capabilities of its underground coal mine to host an energy storage system after closure.
Premogovnik Velenje said it would promote coal mining as European cultural heritage and improve job mobility and green job creation in line with the European Green Deal and the fair transition principle. On the environmental protection front, there are projects for remediation and mining waste processing, both with long-term monitoring.
The country’s last coal mine is exploring options for methane extraction, a gravity power plant, underground energy storage and farming. The last lignite complex in Slovenia has one decade to come up with solutions for the future as the country may abandon the use of the fossil fuel in 2033.
The Slovenia-headquartered company was recently in the news for a 20MWh project it commissioned in Austria, which is the country’s largest, and it is deploying the largest battery storage systems in neighbouring Slovenia and Croatia, totalling 70MW/140MWh and 50MW/100MWh respectively.
