CEZ managed the last year with a profit of 2.3 milliard Czech crowns

In the last year the CEZ Company reached a net income after taxation in the height of 2,259 Kc mln, i.e. ca by 64.5 % less than in the previous year. We had presupposed a decrease of the profit, even more severe, in the beginning of this year. There are several reasons for it, but the key factors are three - decrease of the domestic demand for electricity, stop of the power plant Tusimice I Retrofit and fall of the Czech crown exchange rate.
