HEP-TRGOVINA d.o.o. (HEP Trade) was established as a company within HEP Group in 2007. During 2010, by optimizing
the operation of HEP Group power plants in combination with sales and purchase of electricity on the electricity
market the Company fulfilled all of its business tasks, thereby contributing to the fulfilment of HEP Group mission.
In discharging its day-to-day duties the Company had to make adjustments to the changing conditions in the
electricity market, oscillations in electricity consumption, changing hydrologic conditions, and occasional unavailability
of generating plants. Despite unplanned aggravating circumstances we have achieved good business results
thanks to, among other things, the cooperation with other companies of HEP Group.
During 2010 HEP Trgovina d.o.o., with the aim of increasing profit by achieving lower prices in buying and
selling of electricity, continued the activities concerning foreign companies registered in neighboring countries
(Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina). The company’s operation in Slovenia intensified. The basic task
of foreign companies is to trade in electricity in the markets of the countries in which they are established and in
the markets of third countries.
During 2010 HEP-Trgovina employees participated in national and international conferences for professional
improvement and to keep up with trends in the electricity market. The Company continued to actively participate
in the work of EFET (European Federation of Energy Traders).
Total electricity consumption on the transmission network was 17,947 GWh, an increase of 1.4 percent compared
to 2009 or 1.6 percent compared to the consumption planned in the electricity balance. On December 16, 2010 an
all-time high daily consumption of electricity of 63, 400 MWh occurred. On the same day in the 18 th hour the highest
peak load in the electricity system occurred – 3,121 MW.
Due to exceptionally favourable hydrological conditions, hydroelectric production was historically the highest
ever, amounting to 8,309 GWh or 52 percent higher than planned, participating in the coverage of the total consumption
with a high 46 percent. Also the highest ever was the energy value of water inflows, amounting to 8,947 GWh
or 64 percent more than planned. The historically highest reservoir levels occurred on April 19, 2010 in the amount
of 1,602 GWh (87 percent of the maximum content).
Production by thermal power plants in 2010 was therefore lower by 33 percent compared to the plan (with
a record low consumption of fuel oil of 124,426 t). Export was 65 percent higher than planned while import was 3
percent lower than planned.
During 2010, the volume of trade was realized in the amount of 5,820 GWh, which is 12 percent higher than
planned, primarily due to higher export.
