Local Distribution Networks

We are specialists in services related to local distribution networks, regardless of the customer’s segment.

What is a local distribution network?

A local distribution network (LDN) is a system that delivers electricity within a defined area, such as a town or municipality. It comprises distribution lines, transformers, and other equipment that transmit electricity from main distribution grids to end users including households, businesses, and public institutions.
Ongoing operation and maintenance of these systems are typically overseen by local distribution companies, ensuring safe and uninterrupted energy supply.

Who is it for?

Our solution is ideal for areas with at least two independent users, such as logistics centers, development projects, commercial and office buildings, historical sites, or shopping centers. 

 

Benefits for You

Connection options to the distribution system

Owners or operators of facilities with multiple end-users connected through a single high-voltage point have two options: 

Licensed network operation

The distribution company (ČEZ ESL, s.r.o.) will conclude a contract with the owner for a defined area for energy distribution and subsequently ensure the connection of end customers to the local distribution system.

Advantages

Each site gets individual metering and billing.

End-users can choose their energy supplier.

Legal framework defined by Energy Act No. 458/2000 Sb.

Operating without a license

The owner manages the network themselves without a distribution license, and all users share a single meter.
The legal framework is set by the Commercial Code. This seemingly simple option has a number of disadvantages and risks.

Disadvantages

End-users cannot choose their energy supplier.

Owners risk disputes over billing or energy quality.

Disputes cannot be resolved through the Energy Regulatory Office.


Connection to the distribution system via LDS operated by ČEZ ESL, s.r.o. thus brings a number of advantages both for the owner or operator of the premises and for the end customer.

 

In January 2023, ČEZ LDS was integrated into ČEZ ESL, becoming part of the Electricity and gas distribution department.

 

We offer customers comprehensive energy services, from energy distribution, to management and maintenance of energy facilities, to overall energy management.
