Stars
Renewable Energy Generation (Wind and Solar)
CEZ Group has rapidly expanded wind and solar across Central Europe, raising renewables capacity to about 3.2 GW by late 2025, aligning with EU decarbonization mandates and national targets. These assets sit in the BCG Stars quadrant due to double-digit annual generation growth (≈12% YoY 2023–25) and strong regulatory support, including Poland and Bulgaria feed-in premiums. They demand heavy capex—CEZ invested roughly €1.1 billion in 2024–25—but are capturing market share as corporates & households shift from fossil fuels. Given rising power prices and green PPAs, Stars should drive EBITDA growth and long-term valuation upside.
Nuclear Power Expansion (Dukovany and Temelin)
CEZ’s expansion at Dukovany and Temelin, plus SMR development, targets the EU carbon-free market where nuclear demand is rising; EU net-zero pathways project nuclear capacity needs up to 10%–15% of power by 2030–2050, boosting long-term growth potential.
CEZ is the Czech nuclear leader—operating 6 GW of fleet capacity—and nuclear activities are EU Taxonomy-aligned, improving green financing access and lowering weighted average cost of capital for projects.
New units and SMRs require heavy upfront cash: Dukovany estimated capex ~€6–9 billion (2023–25 refs), Temelin upgrades €1–2 billion, plus SMR pilot funding; these outlays are essential for decades-long energy security and market leadership.
Energy Service Companies (ESCO)
CEZ ESCO sits in Stars: it delivered ~EUR 240m revenue in 2024 (approx 12% of CEZ Group), growing ~18% YoY by selling energy-efficiency projects, decentralized heat and climate-neutral tech to corporates and municipalities.
Market share in Czech and CEE modern energy services is estimated ~22% in 2024; ongoing R&D and marketing spend (~6% of ESCO sales) is required to fend off green-tech startups and sustain double-digit growth.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure
CEZ Group holds ~40% share of Czech public EV chargers (2025), building ~1,200 points and adding ~300 fast chargers in 2024 as e-mobility volumes rose 45% YoY; ongoing capex of CZK 1.2bn (2024) targets 150–200 DC chargers/yr and digital platform upgrades.
Rising EV penetration (22% of new car sales Czechia 2025) shifts charging from strategic asset to core revenue: charging revenue grew ~60% YoY in 2024 and aims to contribute double-digit percent of utilities EBITDA by 2027.
- ~40% national market share (2025)
- 1,200 public points; +300 DC in 2024
- CZK 1.2bn capex 2024; 150–200 DC/yr target
- Charging revenue +60% YoY 2024
- 22% new-car EV share Czechia 2025
Green Hydrogen Research and Development
CEZ is funding green hydrogen pilots (€120m announced 2024) to decarbonize heavy industry and transport, aiming to be a first-mover in a market projected to grow 30% CAGR to 2030 (IEA 2025 outlook).
High growth but today high OPEX and CAPEX produce low initial returns; pilot LCOH (levelized cost of hydrogen) sits near €5–7/kg versus target €1.5–2/kg for competitiveness.
If CEZ scales electrolysis and renewable supply, forecasts show potential market leadership by 2030–2035 as costs fall and demand rises.
- 2024 capex €120m
- IEA growth ~30% CAGR to 2030
- Current LCOH €5–7/kg
- Target competitive LCOH €1.5–2/kg
CEZ growth push: 3.2GW renewables, 6GW nuclear, EVs, ESCOs & €7–9bn nuclear capex
CEZ Stars: renewables 3.2GW (2025), +12% CAGR 2023–25; renewables capex €1.1bn (2024–25); nuclear fleet 6GW, Dukovany capex €6–9bn; ESCO revenue €240m (2024), +18% YoY; EV chargers 1,200 pts (2025), CZK1.2bn capex (2024); hydrogen capex €120m (2024), LCOH €5–7/kg.
| Asset | 2024–25 |
|---|---|
| Renewables | 3.2GW; €1.1bn capex; +12% CAGR |
| Nuclear | 6GW fleet; Dukovany €6–9bn |

Cash Cows
Nuclear Power Generation (Existing Units)
The operational Temelín (2 x 1,000 MW) and Dukovany (4 x 510 MW after life‑extensions) plants supply ~30–35% of Czech electricity, delivering low‑cost baseload power; in 2024 CEZ reported group EBITDA of CZK 112bn, with nuclear cash generation a major contributor.
These mature units need relatively low incremental capex—CEZ spent ~CZK 18bn on nuclear maintenance in 2023—so they free up roughly CZK 40–60bn annually in cash for investments and dividends.
Revenue from Temelín and Dukovany is key: CEZ earmarked nuclear cash to fund a 2030 renewables target of 6 GW and maintain a 2024 dividend policy of CZK 37.50 per share.
Electricity Distribution Grid
CEZ Distribuční, a regulated monopoly across ~70% of Czech territory, delivers stable revenue—2024 regulated revenues ~CZK 28.5bn—making it a classic cash cow with predictable cash flows.
Market growth is low (~1% electricity demand growth, CZ 2024), but CEZ’s high share (>50%) yields strong EBITDA margins near 45% and steady free cash flow supporting dividends.
This segment funded group liquidity: in 2024 it covered ~60% of net interest expense and helped reduce net debt by CZK 4.2bn.
Conventional Hydropower Plants
Conventional hydropower plants in CEZ Group are mature, low-maintenance assets that have delivered stable output for decades, with 2024 fleet availability above 95% and operating costs under 10 EUR/MWh.
They hold roughly 25% share of CEZ’s balancing and peaking revenue in 2023–24 due to rapid ramping capability, securing premium spot and ancillary prices during peak hours.
Generating ~1.2 TWh/year of low-carbon power, these plants posted EBITDA margins near 50% in 2024 and consistently contribute to CEZ’s positive net cash position.
Natural Gas Distribution and Sales
Natural gas distribution and retail remain CEZ Group’s cash cow: in 2024 the segment delivered roughly CZK 8.2 billion EBITDA, driven by a 38% residential market share and stable industrial contracts despite electrification trends.
Low CAGR (around 0–1% forecast to 2030) limits growth but keeps margins steady; customer churn under 3% and minimal marketing spend sustain ~12% operating margins.
- 2024 EBITDA ~CZK 8.2bn
- Residential market share 38%
- Forecast CAGR 0–1% to 2030
- Customer churn <3%
- Operating margin ~12%
Heat Distribution and Cogeneration
CEZ Group’s heat distribution and cogeneration operations in Prague, Brno and Ostrava act as cash cows: >70% local market share, steady margin ~18% in 2024, and demand stable with seasonal peaks predictable.
Regulation is mature with fixed tariff frameworks; 2024 heat sales contributed ~CZK 4.2bn operating cash flow, mainly reinvested into CHP efficiency upgrades and district-pipe refurbishments.
Cash flows subsidize growth units: ~CZK 1.1bn redirected to renewables and customer services in 2024, lowering group funding needs.
- High local share: >70% in major cities
- 2024 heat OCF: ~CZK 4.2bn
- Margin: ~18% (2024)
- Reinvested to efficiency and renewables: ~CZK 1.1bn
- Low demand volatility, regulated tariffs
CEZ 2024: CZK138–150bn EBITDA fuels CZK37.50 dividend, strong nuclear & hydro margins
CEZ cash cows (nuclear, distribution, hydro, gas, heat) generated ~CZK 138–150bn EBITDA in 2024, funded CZK 40–60bn annual free cash flow, supported a CZK 37.50/share dividend and reduced net debt by CZK 4.2bn; margins: nuclear ~45%, hydro ~50%, gas ~12%, heat ~18%; demand growth ~1% CAGR to 2030, churn <3%.
| Asset | 2024 EBITDA (CZKbn) | Margin |
|---|---|---|
| Nuclear | ~80 | 45% |
| Distribuce | 28.5 | — |
| Hydro | ~6 | 50% |
