| Efficiency leads to savings and safety |
| Bratislava, 15.01.2018 |

| One of the biggest challenges of today’s global energy market is energy efficiency. Energy is efficient when savings in energy consumption are made through changes in technology, the behaviour of the industry and the whole economy.
Energy savings not only reduce the operating costs of enterprises, but also help reduce the demand for energy. In times of current geo-political events, this clearly contributes to the strengthening of energy security, said Prime Minister Robert Fico at a conference titled Modern Trends in the European Energy Sector that took place in Bratislava on November 22, 2017.
“Energy efficiency plays a negligible role in Slovakia, a country highly dependent on the supply of primary energy feedstock from third countries,” said Fico.
Slovakia is among the countries that have long been increasing efficiency. While the Slovak Statistics Office (ŠÚ) recorded a decline in energy intensity by more than half in the 2000-2015 period, Fico notes a 27 percent decline during 2006-2012 and the Economy Ministry measures the fall in intensity related to GDP in purchasing power parity at 82.5 percent in 2000-2014.
“Despite this fact, Slovakia has the seventh highest energy intensity on the basis of constant prices amongst the 28 EU countries,” Fico said.
In terms of electricity in the short-term, however, efficiency declined. The dominant power generator, Slovenské Elektrárne (SE), recorded a year-on-year increase in energy consumption by 3 percent in the first three quarters of 2017.
