Energy & Utilities

Globalization and the need for a secure, affordable energy supply go hand in hand.

Economic development depends on sufficient energy sources – oil, gas, electricity, coal, and others. The availability and security of these resources are on the minds of many, from consumers and political leaders to company executives.

Slovakia has undergone a process of harmonization to bring its energy sector standards in line with those of the EU. The country is also seeing a gradual decrease in its dependence on solid fuels as the primary energy source.
