MVM Partner Ltd, beyond its economic objectives, has been striving to help vulnerable, needy social groups ever since it entered the market. The Company pays special attention to help children, the sick and the disadvantaged, to improve their living conditions, to support paediatric care, culture and sports, and to promote a healthy lifestyle to children and young people.

The strategic goal of MVM Ltd, the national electricity wholesaler, was to play an active role in the competitive market that opened on 1 January 2003, to maintain its strong position in the domestic market and to strengthen its participation in regional electricity trading.

For that purpose, the Retail Sales Department was established within the Trade Directorate of MVM Ltd during the first half of 2001, and then, on 5 September 2002, MVM Partner Energy Trading Ltd was founded with a share capital of HUF 50 million, starting its actual operation on 1 January 2003 on the partially opened Hungarian electricity market.

The company, which was established by the merger of the two trading subsidiaries of the MVM Group, MVM Partner Ltd and MVM Trade Ltd, on 1 July 2012, continued its activities under the name MVM Partner Ltd. At the end of 2019, the national energy holding company decided to reorganise its electricity and natural gas retail activities in order to provide unified customer service. As part of this, MVM Partner Ltd transferred its competitive retail business to NKM Energy Ltd from April 2020, while at the same time, in line with the MVM Group's long-term strategy, MVM Partner Ltd became the sole wholesale electricity provider of the Group.
