The entrance to the EU a world global-ization have changed many parts of this policy, minimally for three reasons: European energy demand is increasing, the global climate is rapidly changing and the former energy reserves in this area are dwindling. Because exhaustion of all own conventional energy reserves and the high level of the dependency on the import from one side and Slovakia has strategic position in the European distribution network from other side, it has to prepare the new energy strategy.
