Partnerships
Strategic Government Relations
The Czech State, holding a 70.0% stake in ČEZ as of 2025, remains the majority shareholder and key partner, aligning long-term energy policy and enabling financing for projects like the 1,200 MW Dukovany units; state-backed guarantees and a CZK 150 billion (approx. €6.1 bn) support mechanism approved by 2024 underpin project finance and regulatory certainty for the energy transition.
Nuclear Technology Providers
CEZ partners with Westinghouse, EDF and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) for reactor design, safety systems and fuel; contracts signed in 2024 target 3-4 GW of new nuclear capacity by 2035, with EUR 6.5 billion estimated CAPEX support and long – term fuel/maintenance deals covering 15-25 years to secure operational stability.
European Investment Bank and Financial Institutions
Strategic financial partnerships with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and major banks supply CEZ Group with long-term capital for renewables and grid upgrades, supporting planned 2025-2030 investments of roughly EUR 3.2bn in low-carbon assets; EIB loans often cut financing costs by 50-150 basis points versus market rates. The EIB's green mandates have backed CEZ projects tied to EU climate goals, enabling multi-decade, low-rate structures essential for capital-intensive utility operations.
Local Municipalities and Public Authorities
CEZ partners with local municipalities to operate district heating and run municipal energy-efficiency projects, scaling its ESCO (energy service company) model and local renewables; by 2025 these ties helped retire coal boilers in regions supplying ~420 GWh/year of heat and cut municipal CO2 by ~120 kt/year.
- ESCO rollouts fund: €85m invested by 2023-25
- District heat served: ~420 GWh/year
- CO2 reduction: ~120 kilotonnes/year
- Coal boilers phased out: dozens of plants by 2025
Renewable Energy Equipment Manufacturers
CEZ Group partners with top wind-turbine, solar-panel and battery makers to scale its green fleet, securing supply amid global renewable demand that surged 20% in 2024; CEZ targets 4.5 GW renewables by 2026, driven by these deals.
Joint R&D ventures improve distributed asset performance-pilot projects cut variability by ~12% and battery-capacity procurement reached €350m in 2025 to back grid services.
- Access to latest tech and secure supply chains
- Targets 4.5 GW renewables by 2026
- €350m battery procurement in 2025

Distribution Network Assets
The CEZ Group's distribution network-over 50,000 kilometers of lines and about 10,000 transformer stations as of 2024-forms a regulated asset base that generated roughly CZK 18 billion in distribution revenue in 2024, offering steady, tariff – regulated cash flows largely insulated from wholesale price swings.
Skilled Human Capital
CEZ Group depends on specialized staff-about 7,200 technical employees as of 2024, including nuclear engineers, grid technicians, and energy market analysts-whose expertise drives safety and innovation; their work underpins CEZ's 2024 EUR 5.8 billion capex program for nuclear and grid upgrades. Continuous training (≈2.6 days/employee/year in 2023) keeps skills current amid rising green-energy integration.
Strategic Lithium Reserves
Through its stake in the Cinovec project, CEZ Group controls access to roughly 137,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in inferred and indicated resources, positioning it as one of Europe's largest deposits as of 2025 and key for EV battery and grid storage supply chains.

Cost Structure
Capital Expenditure for Nuclear and Renewables
The largest cost item is capital expenditure: CEZ Group's new nuclear block and renewables buildout required roughly CZK 200-250 billion (about EUR 8-10 billion) in project capex 2020-2025, driving long payback horizons of 15-30 years and heavy upfront financing.
Grid Maintenance and Modernization Costs
Ongoing grid maintenance and modernization require predictable O&M spending plus capex for smart meters and automation; CEZ Group reported CZK 8.7bn in distribution capex and CZK 12.4bn OPEX for networks in 2024, subject to ERA regulation and material inflation (~6% y/y), while resilience investments for extreme weather now add ~10-15% to annual network spend.
Fuel and Raw Material Procurement
CEZ Group spends heavily on nuclear fuel, gas, and biomass-fuel purchases were ~CZK 48.5bn in 2024 (about 18% of operating costs), with gas price volatility a major risk after European TTF gas averaged ~€36/MWh in 2024; coal costs fell as coal capacity declined 22% since 2019. CEZ uses inventory buffers and multi-year supply contracts (some >5 years) to smooth cash flow and hedge price swings.
Carbon Emission Allowances
The group must buy EU Allowances (EUAs) to cover emissions from fossil plants; EUA prices averaged about €80/tonne in 2025, making carbon a material OPEX and driving shift to low – carbon generation.
High EUA costs-around €80/t in 2025-are a key reason CEZ accelerated coal exit to cut allowance purchases and lower operating costs.
- 2025 EUA price ≈ €80/tonne
- Major operational cost for fossil plants
- Primary driver of accelerated coal exit
Personnel and Administrative Expenses
Maintaining CEZ Group's workforce of ~9,000 employees (2024 average) drives major personnel costs-wages, benefits, and safety training-totaling roughly CZK 18-22 billion annually (2024 payroll estimate). Administrative costs-IT systems, customer service, and governance-added ~CZK 6-8 billion, with continuous efficiency programs targeting 3-5% annual overhead savings.
- ~9,000 employees (2024)
- Personnel costs ~CZK 18-22bn (2024 est.)
- Admin costs ~CZK 6-8bn (2024 est.)
- Efficiency savings target 3-5% p.a.
Capex-heavy energy push: CZK 200-250bn 2020-25; 2024 ops & fuel strain margins
Capital-intensive capex (nuclear + renewables CZK 200-250bn 2020-25) and network capex/OPEX (CZK 8.7bn capex, CZK 12.4bn OPEX in 2024) dominate costs; fuel purchases ~CZK 48.5bn (2024) and EUA payments (~€80/t in 2025) add material operating costs; personnel ~CZK 18-22bn and admin ~CZK 6-8bn; efficiency targets 3-5% p.a.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Project capex 2020-25 | CZK 200-250bn |
| Network capex 2024 | CZK 8.7bn |
| Network OPEX 2024 | CZK 12.4bn |
| Fuel 2024 | CZK 48.5bn |
| EUA 2025 | €80/t |
| Personnel | CZK 18-22bn |
| Admin | CZK 6-8bn |
Revenue Streams
Electricity Sales to Retail and Wholesale
The primary income comes from selling electricity from nuclear, renewables and conventional plants; in 2024 CEZ Group reported electricity sales revenue of CZK 96.5 billion (about EUR 3.9 bn), split between long-term retail contracts and spot/forward trades on PX and other exchanges. Revenue swings with wholesale PX prices (2024 average ~EUR 83/MWh) and annual generation volume (46.3 TWh in 2024), so margins track price and output changes.
Regulated Distribution Grid Fees
CEZ earns stable income from distribution fees set by Czech and regional regulators, covering Opex plus a regulated return on RAB (regulated asset base); in 2024 CEZ DSO revenue was ~CZK 28.5bn, with allowed RoR around 5-6% real, providing predictable cash flow.
Energy Service Company (ESCO) Fees
Revenue comes from designing, installing, and maintaining energy-efficiency tech for corporate and public clients, split between one-time project fees and recurring service or performance-based contracts; CEZ Group reported CZK 1.8 bn (≈€72m) in ESCO-related revenues in 2024, up 28% year-on-year.
District Heating and Cooling Sales
CEZ Group earns heat-sale revenue by supplying residential and industrial customers via extensive district heating networks, leveraging long-term contracts and integrated CHP (combined heat and power) assets; in 2024 district heat contributed about CZK 3.1 billion to group revenues, with ~420 GWh sold.
By 2025 the stream is being modernized toward carbon-neutral sources-biomass and electrified heat-with EU fit-for-55 incentives and CEZ capital plans targeting a 40% emissions cut vs 2019 in heat ops.
- ~CZK 3.1bn revenue (2024)
- ~420 GWh sold (2024)
- Long-term customer contracts, high retention
- Modernizing to biomass/electric heat by 2025
