July 1, 2026. The day energy sharing officially launches in Slovenia. ☀️
"A good idea can fail because of poor user experience," says Gregor Novak, CEO of SunContract. That's why we built a marketplace where algorithms find meaningful matches between production and consumption — so users actually save, instead of losing money.
A real example from our experience: a manufacturing facility that used to pay €3,000 a month for electricity could cut its bill by more than €600 through energy sharing.
Slovenia joins seven other EU countries where energy sharing is already live.

🔋 Battery storage is officially the fastest-growing power technology in the world
The numbers from the IEA's Global Energy Review 2026 are striking: 108 GW of new battery storage capacity was deployed worldwide in 2025 – 40% more than the year before, and eleven times higher than in 2021.
Why the boom? Because batteries are the missing link that turns sunshine into round-the-clock power. They store cheap (or even negative-priced) energy and release it exactly when you need it – cutting bills and keeping you running through outages 🏠
At SunContract, a battery storage paired with smart AI management is the heart of true energy independence.

Sunshine, good food, and even better company – that's our team picnic in a nutshell! ☀️
We ate well, laughed a lot, and our youngest had a blast with endless activities. There was also a football match that stayed nail-bitingly close right up to the final whistle! ⚽
The highlight of the day? Our CEO Gregor Novak organized a guided tour of the energy laboratory in Zavrate for all employees and SunContract partners – and it was honestly mind-blowing. 🤩
Thank you to everyone who makes this team feel like home, on and off the clock 💛

When global industry leaders recognize your work
We are proud that our important partner CNTE, one of the world's leading developers of battery energy storage systems, awarded us a partnership award at Intersolar Europe 2026.
Such awards have a special meaning for us. They are not only confirmation of successful business cooperation, but also proof of trust, a strong alliance and a shared vision for the development of the energy sector. For our customers, they are a guarantee that we are working with the best and providing them with access to high-quality, reliable and technologically advanced solutions.
That is why the SunContract team is in Munich this week. If you want to know what the trends in the energy sector will be in the coming years, you need to be at Intersolar Europe today. The world's most advanced companies in the fields of solar energy, battery energy storage systems, energy markets, digitalization and artificial intelligence in the energy sector are gathered here.
In Munich, we can see firsthand how quickly battery energy storage systems are advancing, what innovations are coming to photovoltaics, and what solutions the world's leading manufacturers are surprising us with today. This is the place where the future of energy is being created.
Thank you to the CNTE team for the trust shown and this recognition.
Above all, thank you to the entire SunContract team. This is not recognition for an individual. This is recognition for our team, which, with professionalism, dedication, and courage, builds strong international partnerships and proves that a Slovenian company can also cooperate with leading global players in energy.

🌍 The world's leading energy efficiency forum is heading to North America for the first time
The #IEA's 11th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency takes place in Montreal, Canada, on 29–30 June 2026, co-hosted by the IEA and the Canadian government. Over 600 participants will gather for two days of high-level panels, roundtables and meetings — ministers, CEOs and senior leaders from across the globe.
Why it matters: energy efficiency is one of the most powerful (and underrated) tools for cutting emissions and improving energy security. Yet the IEA notes that rising ambition has not yet been matched by comparable action — global progress is lagging.
At SunContract, efficiency is built into everything we do: smart management that squeezes the most out of every kWh, solar generation and storage that reduce waste and dependence.
