At the “Energy of the Future” conference, hosted by Slovak television TA3 on 25 May 2025, leading energy experts gathered to discuss the outlook for energy prices, energy investment, and energy security across the EU.
Martin Pacovský, Chief Investment Officer at ARETE for the ENERGY TRANSITION strategy, was a guest speaker in the opening panel discussion. In his remarks, he focused on two key points:
- Why he sees natural gas as a critical component of modern energy generation
- Why investing in flexibility within the energy grid is essential

The new ARETE ENERGY TRANSITION fund is built, among other things, on investments in flexible energy sources. The fund will primarily invest in flexible electricity and heat generation based on natural gas, with additional allocations to battery storage systems and renewable energy projects, especially across Central and Western European markets.
Over the next four years, the ARETE ENERGY TRANSITION fund plans to invest CZK 5 billion, targeting an annual return of 11–12%.
