Power consumption
Power consumption in 2018 totalled 12,475,496 kWh or EUR 1,157,838.13. The reason for the reduced power consumption is the smaller number of bank branch offices (Sežana, Rakek, Jarše, Gornji Petrovci, Križevci Ormož, Črna na Koroškem, Gorenje, Dobova, Žužemberk, Videm, Ig, Moravče and Borovnica), renovation of older branch offices, many technical improvements, wise behaviour of employees and wise use of electricity.
