Dear
colleagues,
The
year we are leaving behind us was one of the most difficult years for the
Electric Power Industry of Serbia, as we faced many challenges and problems,
but with joint efforts we managed to stabilize electricity generation and coal
production. Thanks to the dedicated and professional work of all EPS’ employees in
the mines, the power plants and in the entire system, we overcame the problems
we had in December 2021, which were combined with energy crisis and the
drought.
Many
doubted that we would get ready for this winter. However, you know what we have
done - we have completed the necessary overhauls, secured sufficient quantities
of coal, fuel oil and gas and we are steadily entering the winter to come. We
have been working day and night for months and I thank you for that. In the
future period I immodestly expect you to be the most reliable link in the EPS’
business again, and with your knowledge, experience and expertise you confirm
without any doubt that you are this link. EPS has great engineers, miners,
craftsmen, project managers and experts in different fields and with you EPS
has a future. All of you are a guarantee that EPS will be a stable and
successful company in 2023, back on its feet again.
We
have prepared projects for the future, to preserve our base energy, and at the
same time to develop ourselves on the path of modern technologies. We have
renewed the former ties with science and the profession, and I am convinced
that in synergy with the academic and professional community we can ensure a
safe future and the independence of our energy industry. Once again, thank you
for your efforts, work and commitment during the past months, and I wish you
and your families happiness, health and success and all the best in 2023.
Kind
regards,
Miroslav
Tomašević
