Slovak Electricity Grid Operator SEPS Spends Hundreds of Thousands on Image Improvement

SEPS, Slovakia's state-owned electricity transmission system operator, has allocated hundreds of thousands of euros for image improvement initiatives. The company justified the expenditure as a consolidation measure, responding to scrutiny over the spending during a period when the government has implemented various austerity measures across state-owned enterprises. SEPS operates Slovakia's high-voltage electricity transmission network and plays a crucial role in the country's energy infrastructure as one of the state's key assets, often referred to as a 'golden egg' due to its strategic importance and revenue generation.
