• Belectric GmbH and other European parts of Belectric will become one of the flagships of Elevion Group’s expansion in the solar market.

• For Belectric, the merger with the Elevion Group means the possibility of significant synergies in the advanced energy solutions sector and access to new customers.

The annual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has been a tradition at the ČEZ Group for several years now, last year being no exception. The ČEZ Group succeeded in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases by 15% year-on-year, meaning a reduction of one-fifth in the past three years. Alongside its progressing decarbonisation, the company increased the generation of energy from renewable sources by more than 7% and accelerated the construction of public charging points for electric cars by 50%. The current Sustainable Development Report maps out the individual steps that ČEZ has taken on the road to clean energy. The report also defines ambitious targets for the future within Vision 2030 Clean Energy for Tomorrow, which was announced this year.

While Porsche’s electric models break one speed record after another around the world, the brand’s dealerships are also preparing for a new era in individual transport. The branch network of the Porsche Inter Auto Group in the Czech Republic is no exception: it will build facilities for its electromobility future with the assistance of ČEZ ESCO. The contract includes the construction and servicing of charging infrastructure at all Porsche branches of the Porsche Inter Auto CZ network of dealerships. The first was the Porsche dealership at Prague – Prosek, where Turbo charging stands run with the backing of a special battery store with a capacity of 320 kW.

• Today, ČEZ stands can serve up to 600 electric cars at once

• Electromobility also means transformation of the Czech automobile industry

• In the coming years, charging at ČEZ will be yet faster, thanks to ultra-fast stations

Travelling across the Czech Republic by electric car keeps getting easier, among other things thanks to the expanding offering of public charging stands operated by the energy company ČEZ. The country’s largest network is comparable to larger chains of traditional petrol stations. The jubilee 300th stand, which was erected at the parking lot of the Kaufland chain in Nymburk, was ceremonially put into operation by the Deputy Prime Minister (Minister of Industry and Trade and the Minister of Transport) Karel Havlíček. More than 150 stations were installed thanks to the European Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) grant and the Operating Programme Transport, and dozens more were built and financed by ČEZ itself.
