Slovenia: Fossil fuel energy consumption (% of total)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Slovenia's fossil fuel energy consumption (% of total) did not change 0 percentage points on 2023 (from 0% to 0%).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was −2.45 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 11.1 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 2.6 percentage points in 1992 and the biggest yearly fall was 60.72 percentage points in 2016. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 27% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

How it compares

In 2024, Slovenia had the 1st highest value of the 149 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

What this measures

Fossil fuel comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products.

Limitations: The IEA makes these estimates in consultation with national statistical offices, oil companies, electric utilities, and national energy experts. The IEA occasionally revises its time series to reflect political changes, and energy statistics undergo continual changes in coverage or methodology as more detailed energy accounts become available. Breaks in series are therefore unavoidable.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
