Energy-Saving Projects Saved Cities, Municipalities and Public Administration over CZK 300 Million
*The annual guaranteed savings of ČEZ ESCO EPC projects are CZK 200 million
*Savings in 2022 energy prices exceeded CZK 300 million *The savings potential in public buildings in the Czech Republic is estimated at CZK 20 billion A total of 32 energy-saving projects designed using the EPC method and now operated by ENESA from ČEZ ESCO saved CZK 227 million in electricity, gas, heat and water costs last year in the prices of the project’s reference years. Converted to last year’s high energy prices, it was over CZK 300 million. The highest savings were achieved by Prague Congress Centre, but record savings were also reported by projects in hospitals and industry. The CO2 equivalent savings amounted to 45,400 tonnes, equivalent to 17 days of operation of a conventional 100 MW coal-fired power plant.28. 3. 2023
Terminal in Netherlands, LNG in United States and Asia and More: ČEZ Trading Has Started to Operate in a Number of New Markets to Strengthen Energy Security
The most important strategic task for the ČEZ Group’s Trading Department last year was to acquire capacity at the first ever LNG terminal opened in the EU after the start of the war in Ukraine. The next task was to obtain a sufficient quantity of liquefied natural gas at an acceptable price. But these were far from the only goals. To strengthen energy security, ČEZ traders have ventured into other markets and started trading completely new products. They have also discovered a number of opportunities that they have been able to turn into excellent business results.

ČEZ ESCO Will Build the Largest Battery in the Czech Republic in Vítkovice. The House-sized Battery Will Help Stabilise the Czech Energy Grid
*The battery storage capacity is 10 MW and it exceeds the current largest battery in the Czech Republic by more than 40%.
*The system can hold 9.45 MWh of energy, three times the size of the ČEZ battery in Tušimice. *It provides power balancing services, mainly primary frequency control. *ČEZ wants to build 300 MW of storage capacity by 2030. ČEZ is gradually meeting one of its goals announced in its Clean Energy Tomorrow strategy: to build new energy storage facilities with a capacity of 300 MW by 2030. The latest contribution is the largest battery in the Czech Republic with an output of 10 MW, which is being built under the supervision of ČEZ ESCO on the premises of Energocentrum Vítkovice and will be fully operational in the second half of this year. The storage system will support the transformation of the Czech power sector and contribute to the stabilisation of the power grid by providing power balance services.9. 3. 2023
Second Best Year. ČEZ Increased Production of Emission-free Electricity from the Sun by 12 Percent Last Year
*ČEZ increased production from photovoltaic sources by 12% to 136 GWh, which is the consumption of 40,000 households
*In the Czech Republic, ČEZ has historically produced 1.3 m MWh of emission-free energy *The company wants to capitalise on 25 years of experience with photovoltaic plant operation in new construction in the Czech Republic 2022 was a good year for production in photovoltaic power plants operated by ČEZ Obnovitelné zdroje, which added over 14,000 MWh year-on-year and achieved the second best result ever. Only 2018 was better. The nearly 136,000 MWh of emission-free electricity produced last year covers the annual consumption of about 40,000 Czech households. ČEZ photovoltaic plants located in six regions of the Czech Republic operate reliably thanks to high-quality maintenance, timely fault detection and excellent weather forecasting.
