The market operator’s electricity consumption exclusively from renewable sources

The key strategic goals of OTE include activities related to a responsible approach to the environment, climate protection and sustainable development. The support of electricity generation from renewable sources of energy through its certified consumption is one of the means to achieve these goals.

OTE, a.s., (OTE, the market operator) is a company that has a long-term and proactive approach to climate protection. It respects and recognizes the ethical and sustainable way of doing business and through its socially responsible activities strives to contribute to the improvement of the environment.
Therefore, the market operator decided in 2022 to cover its own consumption with electricity produced from renewable sources. OTE has received certification (Guarantees of Origin) from its supplier, which confirm that the electricity consumed at the company's headquarters and at the data centres, which OTE uses to operate the infrastructure of its systems through the IT service provider, was produced from renewable sources.

"By consuming electricity produced from renewable sources, OTE fulfils its strategy of responsible behaviour towards society and the environment. I appreciate that we support more environmentally friendly methods of electricity production, which contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions," says the Chairman of the Board of OTE, Ing. Michal Puchel.
