Primary Raw Materials
Among primary raw materials for the
production of electricity in 2002 coal was
the most important (55%), followed by
hydropower potential (45%), while natural
gas and liquid fuel represent less than one
percent. Premogovnik Velenje (Velenje
coal-mining company) provided us with
coal.

River hydropower plants Nova Gorica)
• Savske elektrarne Ljubljana d.o.o. (Sava
River hydropower plants Ljubljana)
Supply Optimization
The achieved average total price of
purchased electricity exceeded 8 SIT/
kWh, which was largely due to quite
unfavorable hydrologic conditions.
This caused the production of lowercost
hydropower in companies within
HSE Group to remain 11.4 percent
below the planned production level,
and subsequently the higher-cost ©oπtanj
coal-fired thermal power plant production
had to be increased by 11.5
percent. This change in the structure
of purchased power could in fact
cause a substantially larger increase in
the overall price. This was avoided by
introducing the following measures:
• Purchases of additional quantities of
coal at a lower price
• Specific coal consumption was kept
2.5 percent below the planned figures
• Production levels in the most expensive
gas power generators at the
Brestanica thermal power plant
were reduced by 65 percent
By using the balance group and electricity
production system we produced
the appropriate market products of
band, day and night power, as well as
individual peak hour products that
were included in the HSE corporate
range of products and services from
the supplied generated electricity.
Coal
We purchased a total of 41,093 TJ
of coal from PV (Velenje coalmining
company) for the requirements of the
production of electricity and heat at
TE© (©oπtanj thermal power plant).
The energy value of coal stock at the
end of 2002 amounted to 627 TJ.
2.5.2 Heat
In 2002 HSE also traded with heat.
The planned overall production of
heat at TE© (©oπtanj thermal power
plant) for 2002 amounted to 375
GWh, and the actual purchase figure
was 374 GWh.
This means that the realization level
of the heating power purchase plan
was at 99.7%.
