Research and Innovation

Building networks, activating innovative ideas

Research and Innovation are catalytic factors in the energy transition, as they contribute decisively to the upgrading of the distribution network, the more efficient utilization of renewable energy sources and the continuous improvement of the services provided to citizens. At HEDNO, through our active participation in a wide range of research projects and innovation initiatives, we integrate advanced technologies and smart solutions, consistently responding to the requirements of a decarbonized, decentralized and digitalized energy system.

Through systematic collaborations with universities, research centers, technology companies, start-ups and other actors of the wider innovation ecosystem, HEDNO not only utilizes international know-how and domestic scientific potential, but acts as a powerful innovation hub. This multifaceted networking and interaction ensures a continuous flow of new ideas, technologies and practices, leading to the implementation of innovative solutions that transform networks into “smart” and efficient infrastructures. At the same time, competitiveness, reliability and quality of services are enhanced, while the innovation ecosystem in the energy sector is enriched with new opportunities, contributing decisively to the sustainable development of the country.
