GGE

GGE is one of the leading Slovak energy groups, investing in many areas of the energy sector, including generation, distribution and supply. We are also one of only a few energy groups that has made significant investments in production capacities and innovation. Our strong financial background has made us a highly sought-after and stable investment partner in energy project construction.

Since our founding in 2007, we, as well as the group, have maintained growth trends in the majority of services we have entered. We have benefited from our extensive market experience with companies that maintained leading positions decades before the market liberalisation – especially in foreign markets where we have successfully become the pioneering alternative energy supplier. Currently, we operate on the Slovak, Czech and Polish markets.

Our continual successes, development and growth have made us an attractive investment opportunity for the British investment fund Infracapital, part of M&G, the global financial and insurance group. Infracapital has been a strategic investor in GGE since 2015, bringing stronger international development to the group and our clients, bolstering our stability and guaranteeing our reliability and continued growth.

But GGE’s success is built on our people, both at GGE, a.s. and our subsidiaries. We employ top experts in energy production, maintenance, supply and sales. Our long-term investment in human capital in the energy consulting field means we can help our clients with much more than simply the supply and production of energy. Our consulting services include a comprehensive perspective of our clients’ enterprises, as well as efficient solutions to their energy challenges.

However, we never lose sight of the fact that our wide portfolio includes reliable supplies of heat, electricity and gas for households. With this service we also go beyond the role of regular suppliers – we offer our clients comprehensive property management for their comfortable and carefree usage.

Yet, despite our vast international investments, we never forget where we come from. Even abroad, we always behave the way we do at home – with respect and concern for the environment. We do not hesitate to implement innovations and technologies that reduce or even eliminate environmental burdens. We utilise the latest technologies and renewable resources in our facilities. And we are acutely aware of our social responsibility for the people living around our businesses. This is why we support physical education, arts, ecology and education projects every year.
