Sinergy-deal starts new chapter in ALTEO Group’s story

Member News

ALTEO Group closed one of the largest energy market acquisitions among private companies in May 2015. Following the obtainment of necessary permits and the fulfillment of other conditions stated in the contract, Synergy Energy provider, Investment and Consulting ltd. became the property of the upcoming, listed alternative energy company. The acquisition covered Sinergy’s shares in its 11 subsidiaries as well, thus nine project companies completely, while two partially came under ALTEO ownership.   

ALTEO became the leading player of the domestic energy sector’s second line following the deal. Its power plant-portfolio was increased by 41.5 megawatt electricity and 220.6 megawatt heat production capacities. The dynamically developing company’s energy trade portfolio strengthened significantly after the deal: it will be able to sell the produced electricity to end users and other industry players via diversified channels, by the obtained energy producing capacities and power plant control centre.

Regarding the deal, Attila Chikán Jr., CEO of ALTEO group emphasized: “A flexible company needs to realize the tendencies to constant change in the energy structures’ philosophy of operation. The future clearly points to the »smart energy management« approach, which, on the producers’ side is described by particularly high efficiency and the increasing integration of renewable energy sources. On consumers’ part it is about innovations targeting improved energy efficiency and energy-saving, while for energy partners and service providers it is related to the increasingly complex serving of customer needs by innovative products and services. This operational and service approach is a crucial part of the strengthened ALTEO Group’s strategy. We will continue along this philosophy in the future.”

ALTEO Group’s power plant portfolio was broadened with additional, renewable energy source-using and traditional, highly efficient energy producing systems, by the integration of Synergy. The company possesses numerous know-hows on the field of complex energy services, which includes the improvement and operation of existing, and the design and implementation of new energy systems. With the company, ALTEO Group gained a virtual power plant with a close to 40 megawatt capacity, to which the groups existing energy producing capacities can be connected easily.

Telenor Youth Forum invites young people to compete.

How can mobile technology provide equal opportunities for all? The global Telenor Youth Forum is seeking an answer to this question. The company has announced its international program for young people aged 18 to 27 with clear-cut ideas on how education and unlimited access to information can change the world.

This year again, the Telenor Group and the Nobel Peace Center joined forces to organize their Youth Forum, a global platform for young people keen to transform the world they live in – and our digital future. This year’s event is centred around the use of mobile technology to improve knowledge sharing and access to information. The forum will bring together young people from 13 countries in Europe and Asia who will meet and share their views and experience with each other in Oslo between 8 and 11 December 2015 when they will also have an opportunity to attend Nobel Peace Prize events.

Telenor Youth Forum 2014

“Digital communication opens new opportunities in education, and it plays a key role in learning, acquiring new skills and accelerating development. Digital natives can have interesting insights and suggestions for education and knowledge sharing. For this reason, we are encouraging them to participate in the Youth Forum competition, share their ideas and initiate change to make the digital future an opportunity for all”, said István Kutas, Communications Director of Telenor.

Hungarian applicants need to submit an English-language essay of up to 300 words on the topic “Knowledge for All” by 20 September. This year’s ideal candidates are passionate young people aged 18 to 27 with a can-do attitude, fresh thinking and good reasoning skills. They need to speak good English and have exciting insights about the future of education and knowledge sharing.

Hungarian candidates have to present their ideas to the local jury in September. Based on their presentations, 4 candidates will be shortlisted for the international finals. The names of the two winners travelling to the Telenor Youth Forum in Oslo will be announced in November.

Topics for the essays:

  1. For millions of children around the world the right to education remains inaccessible. How should we seek to leverage the opportunities brought by the internet and digital solutions to provide them with access to education?
  2. How can the internet help provide an opportunity for lifelong learning to as many people as possible?
  3. How does one-click access to information influence the learning and education process?

 

Applicants can discuss these questions with each other and even the members of the Hungarian jury during a kick-off event of the Telenor Youth Forum.

Date: 9 September 2015, 5:30-8:00 pm

Venue: A Grund, H-1082 Budapest, Nagytemplom utca 30. (map)

Let’s talk about our digital future together!

BCSDH has joined János Áder’s call to action – Let’s deliver a simple message to world leaders: take climate action now!

News

The Business Council for Sustainable Development in Hungary (BCSDH) has decided to join the international Live Earth movement following a call from the President of Hungary, János Áder, and the WBCSD. The initiative encourages the active participation of member companies for getting the most people to join up.

“Live Earth: Road to Paris” will allow people to have their voices heard and let world leaders know that their citizens expect them to act this year on climate change – said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon . The specific goal is to get one billion signatures from concerned citizens before the UN climate change conference convenes in Paris in December 2015.

According to the Business Council it is extremely important that the Paris Climate Summit is successful.  Accordingly, it seeks to support the campaign actively. The initiative was launched in January this year by former US vice-president Al Gore, and has been personally promoted by János Áder in Hungary.
Last year more than 100 scientific and civil experts and CEOs actively contributed to defining the goals for Hungary to be met by 2020, including those relating to climate change. The next step is to specify exactly what the contribution of business will be in order to facilitate the meeting of these goals (http://action2020.hu/climate-change/).

A Hungarian website www.elobolygonk.hu, established by the President of Hungary, will be the platform for collecting these ‘climate-votes’ and ensuring that your personal support will be counted in the international campaign.

The BCSDH believes that if its member companies join the initiative, actively use their own assets and motivate their stakeholders to dynamically participate in collecting domestic ‘climate votes’, it will make a significant contribution to meet the global ‘a billion signatures’ target. Our mother organisation, WBCSD, is a global partner of the initiative.

Let’s join our voices in demanding environmental accountability from world leaders!
