Overview

Východoslovenská distribučná, a.s. (VSD) is a Slovak energy company whose principal business is the distribution of electricity through its own distribution system to end consumers. It was established in November 2005 and began operations on 1 July 2007, when it was separated from the then Východoslovenská energetika a.s. (VSE). VSD is part of the VSE Holding Group. On the territory of eastern Slovakia it owns a distribution system with a length of almost 22,600 kilometres and distributes electricity to more than 600,000 supply points. The company is therefore a regional distribution system operator rather than an electricity supplier or generator, and its activities are tied to the licensed distribution area in eastern Slovakia. Its registered seat is in Košice, the principal city of eastern Slovakia, and its operations are regulated as a natural monopoly distribution network. The company's official web presence is at vsds.sk, where it presents information for grid users and market participants.

History

Východoslovenská distribučná, a.s. (VSD) was established in November 2005 as part of the restructuring of the Slovak energy sector, which involved separating distribution activities from supply and other functions. It began its independent operations on 1 July 2007, when it was carved out of the then Východoslovenská energetika a.s. (VSE). Since that separation, VSD has operated the electricity distribution system in eastern Slovakia, owning a network of almost 22,600 kilometres and serving more than 600,000 supply points. The company belongs to the VSE Holding Group, which groups the former VSE businesses. Its principal activity is the licensed distribution of electricity to end consumers in its defined territory, a role that is regulated and geographically bounded. The company is headquartered in Košice and maintains an official web presence at vsds.sk.
