Selih & Patrnersji Advised on Grant of a Research Geothermal Concession to SOYAK ENERJİ
October 2025
Our member firm Selih & partnerji has announced that the Government of the Republic of Slovenia has granted a research geothermal concession in the Municipality of Lendava to a company from the SOYAK ENERJİ group.
This is the first concession of this type in Slovenia and is granted by the state on the basis of the Act on the Siting of Facilities for the Production of Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources (ZUNPEOVE). A concession under ZUNPEOVE can be granted through a procedure and under conditions tailored to the specific requirements of projects for the exploitation of geothermal energy, and which differs from the procedures under the Mining Act (ZRud-1) governing permits for exploration and concessions for the exploitation of other mineral resources.
Research geothermal concessions will support the exploration and development of Slovenia’s untapped geothermal potential, thereby contributing to the achievement of sustainable energy goals and to the regional development of eastern Slovenia.
Selih’s team, which advised on the preparation of the project to obtain the research geothermal concession, was led by Partners who are experts from various legal fields – Blaz Ogorevc, Spela Arsova and Miha Stravs.
