The financial assistance is expected to come from the EU Solidarity Fund, she told Prime Minister of Slovenia, Robert Golob.

According to commission.europa.eu:

Following the unprecedented crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Slovenia’s recovery and resilience plan has responded to the urgent need to foster a strong recovery, while making Slovenia’s economy and society more resilient and future ready. In response to the energy market disruption caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Commission launched the REPowerEU Plan. The Recovery and Resilience Facility is at the heart of its implementation and its funding. Under REPowerEU, EU countries are updating their recovery and resilience plans with new measures to save energy and diversify the EU’s energy supplies
