Evaluation (update 2009)
In 2009, several renewable energy projects were supported from EU SF in Slovakia . Funds were distributed through the two ministries - Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Economy. Ministry of environment has the main scheme called Operational goal 3.2: Minimalization of impacts of climate change including support of renewable energy. Link to official web page (in Slovak): http://www.opzp.sk/pics/upload/users/admin/File/180509/OPZP-PO3-08-5_Schvalene.pdf

The ministry of economy distributed the funds for the renewables through their Operational program : Competition and economical growth. Measure 2.1 - Increasing of energy efficiency on supply and demand side and implementation of progressive technologies in energy production. Link to official web page (in Slovak): http://www.opkahr.sk/files/articles/file/zoznam_zazmluvnenych_projektov_2_1_sp.pdf

In 2008, EU funds used for sustainable energy projects were distributed mainly through two operating programs.
· OP industry and services – eligible projects were oriented on energy efficiency in industrial processes and buildings, projects of combined heat and power production, RE, regulation and automatisation of heating systems including heat distribution networks. Beneficiaries were mainly private companies.
· OP basic infrastructure was also oriented mainly at private companies few projects on community level were also supported.

From the database of 2008 supported projects it can be seen that huge amount of funds have been used for fossil fuels (co-firing of coal and biomass, natural gas boilers etc.). All these projects have been approved because of reduction of emissions. Interestingly by far the project with the largest support was oriented on co-firing of coal and biomass at Zvolenska teplarenska, a.s. (14 million EUR). Due to the lack of technical data (share of biomass?) it can be hardly seen as the example of sustainable energy project.

There have been 31 projects supported from the OP infrastructure. Total amount of funds allocated was 1,366,793,543 SKK (40,199 mil. EUR). They have been distributed in the following way :
Biomass 14 projects 343,250,000 SKK (25,1 %)
Geothermal 1 project 31,932,000 SKK ( 2,3 %)
Emission reduction 7 projects 292,256,000 SKK (21,4%)
Natural gas 7 projects 211,545,000 SKK (15,5%)
Energy efficiency 1 projects 17,555,000 SKK ( 1,2 %)
Co-firing (coal+biomass) 1 project 470,251,000 SKK (34,5 %)

There were another 42 projects supported from OP industry and services. Total amount of funds were 758,525,000 SKK (22,309 million EUR). Here 11 biomass oriented projects received total of 380,271,000 SKK (50%), six hydro power projects received 159 766 000 SKK (21 %), five project on geothermal energy received 57,911,000 SKK (8 %) and the rest was used for energy efficiency (savings) and natural gas projects.

More than 90 % of all funds went to private companies and the rest was used by the municipalities.
