"The energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation—digitalization is and will continue to be its key driver. Systems are becoming increasingly complex, and predictive management, machine learning, operational flexibility, and data-driven decisions are a necessity. We have a lot of data in the energy sector, and in the past, this data ended up in 'data graveyards.' At ORGREZ DATA, we want to combine nearly 70 years of engineering experience with the development of advanced software and AI. We remain an innovator not only in the energy sector, but also in the broader context of sustainability," says Vladimír Hlavinka, owner of ORGREZ Group, with a vision to build a leading technical consulting firm in the country with new services.
Jan Huml, an experienced leader with in-depth knowledge of digitalization and energy markets, is taking over as head of ORGREZ DATA. His main task will be to develop data excellence center solutions, accelerate cooperation with clients, and strengthen the role of data and AI in their everyday practice. "Our ambition is clear: we want data and artificial intelligence to become the backbone of modern energy and other industries. By establishing a data excellence center, we are pushing the boundaries of digitization and bringing advanced data and AI work with a real impact on business and society to traditional industries such as energy," emphasizes Jan Huml, CEO of ORGREZ DATA.
Investing in digitalization and sustainability
In recent years, the ORGREZ Group has invested significantly not only in modernizing its traditional energy services, but also in developing its subsidiary ORGREZ ECO, s.r.o., which focuses on data-driven sustainable business strategies, decarbonization plans, community energy, and environmental product assessments. Jan Huml previously collaborated on the development of the advanced ENVISION solution, a tool for digitizing and automating data collection and processing for ESG reporting. He also participated in the design of a decarbonization study for the capital city of Bratislava in collaboration with KPMG Slovakia. Thanks to ORGREZ DATA, the group is now further expanding its reach in the areas of digital tools, ESG reporting, and AI applications in industrial and public systems.
Key challenges facing modern energy
Modern energy faces increasingly complex challenges, from the need for accurate predictions of energy production from renewable sources to the ability to adjust system operating settings in real time. Today, digitalization makes it possible to model possible responses from competitors, predict the impact of strategic decisions, and increase system resilience, for example by testing systems for resistance to single failures or failures with a common cause that could fundamentally disrupt the stability of supply and the market. "The energy sector will become increasingly dependent on the ability to predict, optimize, and adapt, as well as identify and assess risks. This requires not only digitalization, but also a deep understanding of physics, technology, and markets. This is where I see our added value," adds Vladimír Hlavinka.
