Mission & Goals
Energetika Celje d.o.o. is the municipally-owned public utility of the City of Celje (Slovenia). Our remit is to provide secure, reliable and increasingly low-carbon district heating to households, public buildings and businesses across the Celje urban area; to operate and modernise the city's waste-to-energy thermal treatment plant in line with EU best available techniques; and to develop new infrastructure for waste-heat recovery, thermal energy storage and integration with industrial partners. We are implementing a multi-year investment programme aligned with the Energy Efficiency Directive recast, the Renewable Energy Directive III, the EU ETS framework and the Slovenian National Energy and Climate Plan, in order to decarbonise heating and cooling in Celje, expand the network, and contribute to Slovenia's just transition objectives.
