Operation

The consumption of electric power from the transmission network refers to energy that is taken from the transmission network by the connected consumers, i.e. the system operator of the distribution transmission network, who transmits the energy to the end users, and consumers who are connected directly to the transmission network. The producers of electric power, feeding electricity into the transmission network, are the nuclear power plant, thermal power plants, and hydroelectric power plants.

Electricity supply is performed according to the principle of a regulated access by a third party to the network. In accordance with the criteria in the System Operating Instructions, all persons who wish to become users of the network and power system operators have the right to a connection to the network. Network users pay the network costs based on the tariff that the Energy Agency published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia at least five days before they enter into force.

We notify the electrical energy market participants about all important events that could impact their operations. When neighbouring system operators give notice about their plans to alter the NTC values or limit cross-border transmission capacities, we notify business users immediately.

ELES is aware of the importance of international cooperation and innovations in the field of the electric power industry. Therefore we take part in numerous international projects, in which we aim to find solutions to the most troubling issues in the electric power industry together with our foreign partners. One of the fields where we are conducting numerous activities is smart grids, which is gaining in importance.

The EIC (Energy Identification Code) code is a unique code for the identification of individual participants in the electric energy market, providing the more efficient mutual exchange of electronic data.

ELES enjoys the status of a local EIC code issuer, thus giving you the option to apply for an EIC code.

On this page, you can find the most important documents related to the operation of the transmission network, as well as system usage application forms for scheduling and intraday cross-border transmission capacity access on the SI-AT or the SI-CR border, and documents for ordering the certificate for access to the system for electronic scheduling.

ELES as the transmission system operator of the electric power network is in accordance with the legislation obliged to notify the public about the procedures of adoption and implementation of European regulations in the field of electric power transmission.

This section presents current European regulations, the consents of the Energy Agency and other documents, and notify the public about current public discussions regarding procedures and methodologies prepared on the basis of provisions of current regulations.
