On 28 February 2019, the international ENGIE Group presented its strategic goals for the next 3 years. Its main ambition is to be a world leader in energy transformation with the goal of achieving zero emissions.
At the end of last year, ENERGY Distribution, a member of the ENGIE Group in Slovakia, purchased the assets and technologies of the local distribution system (LDS) at the Nová Hodvábka site in Senica with the aim of developing its energy distribution activities in Slovakia. This year, it is planning its extensive modernisation, which will result in the construction of an unmanned transformer station and more efficient operation.
Last year ENGIE became part of the pilot programme for youth training “SUSTAINABILITY AMBASSADORS”, organised by the Slovak Green Building Council (SKGBC). The two-year project, which involved more than 120 students from 4 schools in Bratislava, was launched by the organiser at the beginning of the 2018/2019 school year. The aim of the programme is to work systematically with secondary school students and prepare them for their future careers through theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in the field of sustainable development.
Aligning individual and societal interests leads to harmonious progress around the world – an idea ENGIE believes in and a commitment it strives to fulfil. In the spirit of this idea, the company launched the ENGIE Harmony Project worldwide this spring. The concept is based mainly on a communication campaign that presents real projects of progressive collaboration between ENGIE teams and its partners. These include start-ups, local actors or artists, i.e. all those who share a common desire to act in favour of harmonious progress.
In the metropolis of eastern Slovakia, AZOR, as the new owner of the building, has been reconstructing the multifunctional centre on Hlavná Street since June this year. ENGIE Services succeeded in the tender procedure and plans to start the reconstruction of the technological equipment for the production and distribution of heat, cold and electricity supply in the near future.
The ENGIE Group supported 3 schools in western and eastern Slovakia again this year as part of the ENGIE ECO Schools project. The project also included planting of greenery, which was carried out in September and October by employees of ENGIE Group companies together with pupils from primary schools in Moldava nad Bodvou and Skalica and students from the Secondary Vocational School of Crafts and Technologies in Bratislava.
Design, supply and installation of HVAC and heating systems, minor construction works and other activities – all this was carried out by ENGIE Services’ Technology Installation Department as part of the complex reconstruction of the Danube Hotel in 2017.
ENGIE is ready to address a wide range of requirements of existing and potential clients in the field of electromobility – from simple installation and servicing of charging equipment to a sophisticated service in the spirit of Charge Point Operator.
The ENGIE Harmony Project illustrates in a very concrete and modern way ENGIE’s work for harmonious progress, in particular by reconciling the interests of individuals with the general interest of the society in which they live. ENGIE is one of the global brands that has a responsibility to design and implement the development not only of its own company, but also of the society in which it operates. To achieve these goals, we must combine the strengths of our teams with an equally strong and committed approach from all civil society actors.
On 27 June 2018, ENGIE Services inaugurated a newly built 110/22 kV transformer station, which will distribute electricity to companies located in the Logistics and Industrial Park in Velika Ida from July.
