Regulated fuel prices at multi-month highs

Regulated fuel prices at multi-month highs

Energy

Regulated fuel prices in Slovenia will rise significantly on 28 January. Petrol will be 2.7 cents more expensive at €1.55 per litre, an eight-month high, while the price of diesel will go up by 3.8 cents to €1.619, the highest it has been since October 2023, CE Report quotes The Slovenia Times.

The new prices for petrol and diesel, announced by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy, apply only outside the motorway network, where prices are regulated.

Slovenia adjusts petrol prices biweekly to prices of oil derivatives on the Mediterranean markets and the euro-dollar exchange rate.

Occasionally the government prevents steep price hikes by reducing excise duties, but this time the duties remain unchanged.

The government says that if prices were not regulated, both petrol and diesel would cost about eight cents per litre more.
