Gas prices in Slovenia
Slovenian households buy gas from competing suppliers, but since the 2022 crisis the government has set a maximum retail price for households and other small consumers, renewing it in successive periods. The Energy Agency (Agencija za energijo) regulates the network and supervises the market.
Gas is used for heating and cooking mainly in towns with a distribution network, such as Ljubljana and Maribor, while many homes heat with wood, heating oil or heat pumps.
Slovenia produces almost no gas and has no storage of its own; it imports gas through the transmission network of Plinovodi, from Austria and from Italy.

Gas prices in Slovenia explained
What makes up the price
The price covers the gas, the network charges, excise duty, a CO₂ tax and VAT. Under the regulated maximum, suppliers may charge less but not more for the energy itself, so offers below the cap are worth comparing.
Regulated maximum prices
From September 2022 the government capped the retail price of gas for households and small businesses and has extended the arrangement in later periods. It kept Slovenian bills well below the level the wholesale market would have produced during the crisis.
Heating in Slovenian homes
Wood remains a traditional heating fuel in Slovenia, especially outside the cities, and Ljubljana and several other towns have district heating. Where there is a gas network, many houses and flats heat with gas boilers, and the Eco Fund (Eko sklad) offers grants and loans for switching to heat pumps or making homes more efficient.
