The companies of Jozef Brhel, who faces corruption charges, are making handsome profits on support services for SEPS, the state-owned energy grid operator. SEPS pays €5.08 per MWh for the support services, the 6th-highest price in the EU; the figure is €3.05 in Poland, €3 in Czechia and €2.76 in Hungary. In 2015-20, Brhel’s firms DG-energy and A.E.S received €120m of the total €856m SEPS paid for support services (Slovenské elektrárne got €447m). The companies send most of their revenues to other Brhel firms. These, for instance, are building 27 luxury villas, each priced at €1.5m, in the Canary Islands. Brhel has his own much larger villa nearby.
