WE GENERATE ENERGY THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW

MORE THAN 70% OF OUR ELECTRICITY COMES FROM CLEAN SOURCES. WE GENERATE SAFE, RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY. WE WILL INVEST EUR 3 BILLION IN OUR NEW PROJECTS FOR THE CLEANER FUTURE OF THE NEXT GENERATIONS. WWW.SEAS.SK

Slovenské elektrárne, member of ENEL Group, wish to be the safest, most reliable, efficient and competitive power generating company in Slovakia and surrounding markets. Due to these priorities, it is launching the development of new energy sources, increasing the power output and modernizing all its 6 000 megawatt power generating portfolio – nuclear, hydro and thermal power plants. Until 2013, Slovenské elektrárne and ENEL have committed to start investment projects in the volume of over SKK 100 billion, or over EUR 3 billion. Last year, majority of investments flowed to the nuclear energy, mainly for the modernization and power up-rate of the Bohunice V-2 nuclear power plant, also aimed to increase its generating capacity by some 7 % – from 880 to 940 megawatt. Most of the investments in the next year will be placed into the Mochovce III & IV completion, which will be the most modern nuclear power plant in the region in 2013. Thanks to installation of the newest technology and monitoring solutions the equipment will be operated at level of the third generation of pressurized water reactors, the most advanced available generation at the energy market. In 2009-2013, Slovakia will miss the decommissioned nuclear units of Bohunice V-1 power plant. Therefore, Slovenské elektrárne and ENEL want to transition this period by increasing the load of thermo power plants in Vojany and Nováky, and increasing the output capacity at Mochovce I & II and Bohunice V-2. The thermo units will undergo modernization and ecologization challenging in terms of the investments. Slovenské elektrárne is also modernizing its hydro power plants, which are migrating to a fully-automatic control system. In addition, the company is preparing projects of small hydro power plants, assessing the possibilities of developing a wind park, increasing the usage of biomass and geothermal energy. By taking these actions, Slovenské elektrárne and ENEL are demonstrating that in Slovakia they wish to operate the safest, most reliable, efficient and competitive energy sector in the region.

The Region of Lučenec

Introducing the region of the Lučenec Regional Chamber The region is situated in the southern part of central Slovakia. It consists of five districts: Lučenec, Rimavská Sobota, Veľký Krtíš, Poltár and Revúca. It is formed by historical areas of Novohrad and Gemer. The region is mostly a lowland and high-located places are situated only in the northern part. The heart of the region is the geomorphological whole of the Southern-Slovak Hollow. The area is bordered on the Krupinská planina (Krupina plain) in the north-west, on the Slovenské Rudohorie in the north and on the Slovenský Kras in the east. The area of the region is 4329 km with the population of 267 286 (2001) and with the average density of population 62 people to 1 km. The southern border on the Hungarian Republic suggests good contact between the population of both border regions in industry and culture. That´s why the Slovak-Hungarian Chamber composes inseparable part of Lučenec Regional Chamber. It provides economic, statistical, legislative information and requested adresses and contact details about Hungarian firms for its members. The region is rich in raw materials. We can find here magnesite (the region comprises of more than 6% of the total world resources especially in the surroundings of Jelšava, Ľubeník and Hnúšťa), heat-resistant loams, basalt, ceramic raw material, natural decorative stone, steatite, asbestos, the raw materials of the silicate industry (diatomite, algin, etc.). Natural resources form an important potential of further production development of the region. These facts were the basis for creating Non-metallic raw materials Section of the Slovak Chamber in Lučenec. The section unites Slovak firms and institutions which deal with searching, exploiting and processing of non-metallic raw materials. Every three years the conference about non-metallic raw materials named EUROSILIKÁT is held in Lučenec. The main objective of the conference is to widen knowledge about new and unconventional non-metallic raw materials and their technological use.

Transport and energies The region has the advantage of its location. It offers the shortest transport connection between western and eastern Slovakia and its metropolises Bratislava and Košice and connects links between Budapešť and Varšava. The region has its local airport Boľkovce (8 km from Lučenec). Its location offers POLICY OF RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE CENTRES excellent conditions for a passenger transport as well as air sports. The airport has been the seat of the World Parachuting Championship for several times. The nearest international airport is in Sliač (60 km from Lučenec). As for the energy lines (oil- pipeline, gas-pipeline, power lines) the southern Slovak transport corridor is being used in the direction Bratislava - Nové Zámky – Šahy - Veľký Krtíš - Lučenec - Rožňava - Košice. Lučenec is the centre of local energy institutions such as gas industry, power stations and optical telecommunication lines.

The Region of Nitra

The Nitra Region in the Context of Foreign Investments Only very few Slovak regions have such excellent preconditions for the development of international contacts and coopera- tions as has the Nitra region. This region extends from the mountain ranges Povazsky Inovec and Tribec in the north to the river Danube in the south and geographically it covers the prevailing part of South-western Slovakia. This region is identic with the chamber region of the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry Nitra. The chamber region begins appr. 80 km easternly from the Slovak capital Bratislava and is surrounded by the another chamber regions Trnava, Trencin, Banska Bystrica and Lucenec. The centre of the region is the historically famous town Nitra with appr. 90 000 inhabit- ants. The total geographic surface of the region represents appr. 6 344 sqkm and the number of its population is about 707 305 residents. The total number of the entrepreneurial subjects in 2007 was appr. 62 103. The traditional industrial branches of the region are the machine engineering, metal processing, electrical engineering, chemical industry, building material production and the automobile industry. Based on the excellent climatic and soil conditions very important are also the agricultural pro- duction and the food processing industry. Concerning the size of entrepreneurial subjects there are typical here small and middle sized companies, which went through the transformation process to the market economy easier and more flexibly as many big factories in other parts of the Slovak Republic. In the recent ten years there was established here a large number of new producing companies by local Slovak entrepreneurs, which are successful not only on the Slovak but also on international markets. The objective advantages of the region have been invented also by well-known foreign companies, from which many are present here with strong investment projects. To the most important foreign investments of the region belong such manu- facturing plants as for example the SE Bordnetze-Slovakia Ltd. /cable systems for automobiles/, HEINEKEN SLOVAKIA jsc. Nitra /beer and malt production/, Giesecke & Devrient Slovakia Ltd. /smart cards/, SLUZBA SIIX ELECTRONICS /electronic appliances/, OSRAM jsc. Nove Zamky /electric bulbs/, TELEFLEX jsc. Vrable /automobile parts/, MATADOR AUTOMOTIVE , jsc Vrable /auto- mobile parts/, SMURFIT KAPPA jsc. Sturovo /paper industry/. The most important investors came to the region from Germany, Austria and Holland. Besides these direct investments a large number of local industrial companies cooperate very intensively with partners in the European Union supplying for them semi-products or carrying out certain finalizing operations on their final products. The region has very good transport infrastructure with dense network of roads which contributes to the further intensifica- tion of the international contacts. The administrative centre of the region the town Nitra has direct highway connection with the capital Bratislava and thus also with the slovak-austrian border. Thanks to this highway connection and the good geo- graphical position three international airports /Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest/ are available within three hours. In the town Nove Zamky 30 km southernly from Nitra there is one international railway junction and in the suburb of the town Komarno is the second most important river port of Slovakia on the river Danube. After the opening of the Rhine-Maim-Danube channel the region has direct ship connection with the Black and North Sea. Nowadays, the main task of the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry Nitra in the international sphere is the further support of commercial and cooperational contacts between Slovak and foreign companies. This target is based on the high interest of the local entrepreneurial circles for the intensification of business contacts mainly with the countries of the European Union and of Middle Europe. It is expected that thanks to the geographical proximity and good infrastructure, this region will attract the interest of further foreign investors. Naturally, the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry Nitra will be always ready to equip them with basic orientation in the current Slovak environment and to provide professional advisory services in all spheres of the economic life.
