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 since 2019. The country currently has three operating coal power plants with 494 megawatts (MW) of capacity: the Vojany power station commissioned in 1966 is 220 MW, the US Steel Kosice Works power station is 208 MW, and the Kosice power station commissioned in 1967 is 66 MW. The Nováky power station retired in December 2023. Some of the country’s coal capacity is to provide captive power for industrial plants.
