The money will be used to affirm Vulog’s position as a leading provider of technologies in the sphere of clean shared mobility and for further expansion in Europe and both North and South America. The Inven Capital fund acquired a minority stake in the French company in 2017, when it and other investors provided 20 million dollars to Vulog. Shared mobility driven by Vulog’s technology operates in more than 30 cities on five continents. Thanks to the 95% electrification of the contracted fleets, 200,000 tonnes of CO2 from transport is saved every year.

Písek public transit is making a complete switch to electric drive. Five new electric buses will have their base on premises with seven charging stations that were delivered by ČEZ ESCO as turnkey projects. With the renewal of its public transit fleet, the city on the Otava River is fulfilling its Smart Písek strategy. ČEZ has also supported individual mobility in Písek for some time, operating three rapid charging stations.

A reduction in the cost of energy, heat, gas, and water consumption by CZK 248 mil. was last year’s contribution of a total of 39 guaranteed energy-efficient projects (EPC) provided in the Czech Republic and Slovakia by ENESA from ČEZ ESCO. The savings were up by 9 percent year-on-year, which means CZK 25 mil. In ecological terms, the savings mean a reduction in CO2 emissions by 39,300 tonnes – which is the amount produced by one block of a coal-burning power plant with an output of 100 MW in two weeks of regular operations.

Despite the difficult conditions caused by the COVID pandemic, the number of solar power plants installed was up by a quarter year-on-year, and the number of heat pumps by nearly a half. ČEZ Prodej also expanded the number of its technology and service centres in Bohemia and in Moravia. This year, ČEZ Prodej plans further significant growth in installations.
