Performing Energy Efficiency Policy in Slovenia
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 1
Energy efficiency is one of the key pillars of the EU's climate and energy policy, as it pursues the awareness that only the energy that we don’t use is the cheapest, cleanest and the most reliable. This awareness was the basis for amendments of existing Directive on energy efficiency, which extends the energy savings targets by 2030. In this article, we present novelties that Slovenia will have to take into account regarding energy efficiency. We also introduce the results of energy savings that were reported for 2015, as well as new measures, which will contribute to achieving the objectives set out in the amended Directive.

SLOVENIAN ENERGY EFFICIENCY OBLIGATION SCHEME
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 7
The Energy Agency has in the year 2016 started to monitor for the first time the reporting of the achieved energy savings, which are reached by the suppliers of electricity, gas, heat, solid and liquid fuels in the year 2015. With this, in Slovenia the monitoring of the energy efficiency obligation scheme of suppliers begins, which is carried out by the Energy Agency. The paper presents the characteristics of the energy efficiency obligation scheme in Slovenia by suppliers and the legal basis for this obligation system. In conclusion, we provide the first information on the activities of suppliers in increasing energy efficiency.

ENERGY EFFICENCY ACHIEVED BY SYSTEMATIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT MEASURES
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 14
In the Gorenjske elektrarne company, using the concept of energy efficiency we have systematically monitored the consumption of energy by energy accounting, costs from the financial aspect and the CO2 emissions from the ecological aspect. With systematic approach using our own example we have presented an example of a municipal energetics. After the decline of profitable subsidies for solar power plants, the interest in terms of the energy efficiency concept was aroused by the construction of a 12.3 kWp solar power station with own internal connection based on PX3 type scheme and use of electricity to satisfy own needs, with generated savings in network charges and duties owing to own electricity production. Since 2005, efforts have been devoted to increasing energy efficiency by use of heat pump for heating during transitional period and since 2011 by switching from heating oil to natural gas for heating in the winter. The introduction of energy accounting, the optimisation of consumption of all energy products, the energy performance certificate and energy audit measures are aimed at a comprehensive supervision over the consumption and costs of energy products and the acquisition of the ISO 50001 quality certificate for energy management. We have calculated greenhouse gas emission savings of the energy efficiency development concept comprising own solar power plant and a heat pump. We have developed an energy control information system GEKenergija, which is based on monitoring the consumption of a specific energy product, the valuation of use and savings, both in terms of energy product and money. The results have proven the effects expected. Using the regression analysis we have explained the effect of external temperature on the consumption of heat energy.
