Sustainable solutions

GR Ljubljana is a venue with a tradition of over 70 years in hosting events of all kinds. This legacy brings a profound responsibility toward the future. This is why we are investing in the renovation of our venue to ensure that it is energy-efficient, socially responsible, and fully prepared to sustainably execute events.

A significant portion of our electricity is produced on-site by our own solar power plant, which generates approximately 500 MWh of green energy annually. This allows us to strengthen our energy self-sufficiency while significantly reducing our environmental impact. We utilize smart building management systems that optimize energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting.

  • Smart heating and lighting management in the halls
  • An on-site solar power plant
  • LED and motion-sensor lighting
