Small capacity, but great potential. ČEZ uses the new photovoltaic power plant in Ledvice to test the properties and suitability of various types of panels that it wants to deploy, following the assessment, in large solar parks that the company is planning. The aggregate capacity of these sources, which will contribute to the achievement of the Czech Republic’s climate goals and commitments, should reach tens of thousands of MWs in the next 10 years. This spring, the first large power plant using solar power, located on the roof of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant parking lot, will start supplying emissions-free power to the grid. The largest solar installation in the last ten years, with a capacity of 2.3 MWp, will be built on the roofs of the automobile manufacturer Škoda Auto. It will be built by ČEZ ESCO.

› ŠKODA AUTO CEO Thomas Schäfer and Daniel Beneš, CEO of the ČEZ Group, agree on extended collaboration on construction projects for sustainable energy generation › ŠKODA AUTO commissions ČEZ with the construction and operation of the largest roof photovoltaic system in the Czech Republic while ŠKO-ENERGO will be responsible for project coordination › At ŠKODA AUTO’s Czech plants, energy for vehicle and component production will come exclusively from CO2 neutral sources from the second half of this decade onwards Mladá Boleslav, 12 February 2021 – ŠKODA AUTO is increasingly focusing on renewable energy and today, ŠKODA AUTO CEO Thomas Schäfer and Daniel Beneš, CEO of the ČEZ Group, agreed to expand collaboration between ŠKODA AUTO and energy supplier ČEZ. From the second half of this decade, the energy required for the manufacture of vehicles and components at ŠKODA AUTO’s Czech plants will come entirely from renewable sources. The next joint project between ŠKODA AUTO and ČEZ is the construction of the largest roof photovoltaic system in the Czech Republic, which is set to be connected to the grid at ŠKODA AUTO’s headquarters in Mladá Boleslav later this year.

Rolls-Royce and CEZ have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the potential for compact nuclear power stations, known as small modular reactors (SMR), to be built in the Czech Republic.

Prague, November 24, 2017 – Fast recharging of electric vehicles on the roads across Czech Republic and to neighboring countries is becoming ever more accessible. ČEZ Electromobility, the operator of the most extensive domestic network of public charging stations for electric vehicles, has succeeded in the European grant procedure for the construction of another 63 fast-charging stations. The construction will again be funded by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), through which the European Commission supports the process of interconnecting Europe by installing charging points along the TEN-T core road network. At the same time, ČEZ builds charging stations from its own resources as well.
