Power Plants in Slovakia
Slovakia has 15 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 108th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 10 operating and 2 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 5.3 GW across 10 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Mochovce nuclear power plant (1.5 GW).
The largest owner-operators are Slovenské Elektrárne AŞ (5), Enel SpA (3) and EP Slovakia BV (3) — Slovenské Elektrárne AŞ alone is named on 33% of them. Half of Slovakia's power plants in service predate 1992 (median commissioning year of the 10 with a known date) and the oldest still listed is Kosice power station, dating from 1967. 2 are in the pipeline, led by Bohunice nuclear power plant (1.2 GW), under construction. They account for 43% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Slovakia.
