SLOVAKIA

Slovakia’s electricity needs are met primarily using nuclear power. Slovakia has no coal plants under construction or in planning stages. The country has been a member of the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) since 2019. Slovakia's only operating coal power plant is the US Steel Kosice Works power station with 208 megawatts (MW) of capacity. The Nováky power station retired in 2023, the Vojany power station retired in 2024, and the Kosice power station retired in 2025. Some of the country’s coal capacity is to provide captive power for industrial use.

As an EU member state, Slovakia is covered by the European Union’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution (“NDC 3.0”), submitted in November 2025, which introduces an indicative 2035 emissions reduction target, reinforces the phase-down of unabated coal power, and reaffirms the objective of climate neutrality by 2050.
