Extreme temperatures, droughts, torrential rains and disrupted ecosystems have a <strong>tangible economic value<\/strong> borne by states, cities, businesses and individuals. <\/p>\n<p>For us at <a href=\"https:\/\/engie.sk\/en\/\">ENGIE<\/a>, it is essential to <a href=\"https:\/\/engie.sk\/en\/renewable-energy-sources\/\">implement solutions<\/a> that bring <strong>real environmental and economic benefits. <\/strong>Solutions that are in line with the European targets: reducing emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Another decisive factor is <strong>competitiveness<\/strong>. Companies that opt for low-carbon technologies are not only meeting legislative requirements, but are preparing for a stable and prosperous future. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy security and independence<\/strong> are equally important. A stable and predictable energy supply is no longer a given. Our focus is on creating solutions that minimise dependence on external supplies, while combining efficiency and flexibility.  <\/p>\n<h3><strong>The path to the right energy mix<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Decarbonisation is not black and white. We are not just choosing between renewables and fossil fuels &#8211; the solution is always in the middle. <\/p>\n<p>The key to success should be a stable energy mix based on<strong> relevant data and expert discussion<\/strong> to propose the<strong> optimal mix of measures. <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>A well-balanced energy mix can simultaneously <strong>meet decarbonisation objectives, increase competitiveness and strengthen energy self-sufficiency<\/strong>.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How are we changing energy in Slovakia?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At ENGIE, we don&#8217;t stop at words. We are already implementing dozens of projects in Slovakia that are moving the energy sector towards sustainability and delivering real results: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>3 MW photovoltaic power plant for Hella Forvia Slovakia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>20 MW wind power plant<\/strong> in the east of Slovakia<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engie.sk\/en\/referencie\/biogas,heat-and-cold-production-for-cities,res\/biogas-plant-in-moldava-nad-bodvou\/\"><strong>1 MW biogas plant in Moldava nad Bodvou<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; heat is supplied to the town<\/li>\n<li><strong>2.5 MW cogeneration<\/strong> with expansion plan<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engie.sk\/en\/referencie\/battery-storage,design-build-en,electricity,electricity-and-gas-distribution\/engie-battery-storage\/\"><strong>6 MW battery storage <\/strong><\/a>in Senica and Velika Ida<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engie.sk\/en\/engie-services-invests-eur-17-5-million-in-renewable-heat-infrastructure-at-stellantis-slovakia-plant-in-trnava\/\"><strong>9 MW biomass boiler plant for Stellantis<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat pumps for development projects<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Biomethane station<\/strong>: by 2028<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our <strong>next milestone is 2030<\/strong> &#8211; more than 150 MW of installed RES capacity, which means the production of approximately 300,000 MWh of green energy per year.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Decarbonisation as the new standard for the future<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For ENGIE,<a href=\"https:\/\/engie.sk\/en\/decarbonisation\/\"> decarbonisation<\/a> is not an abstract goal, but a <strong>new standard that brings opportunities<\/strong>.
