Producer:
Termoelektrarna Toplarna Ljubljana | Hardlab The Te-Tol mobile portal provides environmental information about electric power stations that use fossil fuel in the Ljubljana region. The innovation is part of the Te-Tol company’s goal to be a safe, reliable, economic and environmentally friendly manufacturer of heat and electrical energy.
The system was initiated as an open, transparent and real-time tool to communicate with the inhabitants of Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, who are negatively influenced by air pollutants (SO2, NOx, CO and dust) from TE-TOL’s coal-based energy production.
Furthermore, the Te-Tol mobile portal also caters to the needs of internal personnel and external deployment co-operators.

Jury Evaluation:
The Te-Tol mobile portal is a stellar example of how mobility can be put to use in serving the common good of a diverse community. The application is a mobile website which was designed and built to serve a range of targeted constituencies by exposing a rich and complex dataset and making it available. The information is provided through the management and monitoring of the CO-generation power supplier in Slovenia which provides heating and up to 90% of total electricity power in the community of Ljubljana.
The integration of the power generation facility within an urban environment brings with it a special obligation towards the company’s neighbours, stakeholders and shareholders.
The Te-Tol mobile portal affords these users direct, unfiltered and transparent access to data. Users of the service can monitor pollutants being released into their environment in real-time, as well as follow other critical usage and output measures from the power facility. Suppliers to the company can monitor ongoing and fluctuating needs for raw materials. Community and company leaders can be held responsible and made aware of how well the company is meeting its stated goals of corporate transparency and civic responsibility, and do all this from their mobile phones, in real-time, all for no cost to the end-user.
