Partnerships
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.
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.
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
- R&D pilots reduced variability ~12%

What is included in the product
A concise, investor-ready Business Model Canvas for CEZ Group detailing customer segments, channels, value propositions, key activities, resources, partners, cost structure, and revenue streams aligned with its energy generation, distribution, and trading operations.
High-level view of CEZ Group’s business model with editable cells—condenses generation, distribution, and retail strategy into a one-page snapshot to save hours of structuring and enable quick team collaboration.
Activities
The core activity is operating Temelín (2×1,000 MW) and Dukovany (4×510 MW) nuclear plants plus remaining high-efficiency gas and coal units to deliver baseload power across Central Europe, targeting >90% nuclear availability and ~22 TWh nuclear output in 2025. By late 2025 CEZ accelerated coal-to-gas/biomass switches, cutting coal generation share from ~30% in 2020 to ~8% and lowering CO2 intensity by ~55% versus 2015.
CEZ Group runs electricity distribution networks serving ~3.6 million end customers in Czechia and Romania, investing €1.2 billion in 2024–25 grid upgrades to integrate 30%+ intermittent renewables; key efforts include rollout of smart meters to 1.8 million sites and automation projects that cut SAIDI outage minutes by 18% in 2024, improving resilience and operational efficiency.
The ESCO division designs, builds and operates decentralized energy systems for industrial, commercial and public clients, from rooftop solar to full energy‑management platforms; in 2024 CEZ Group reported ESCO revenue growth of ~18% and installed ~120 MW of distributed renewables, aligning with its shift from commodity sales to high‑margin services.
Energy Trading and Risk Management
CEZ runs sophisticated wholesale trading in electricity, natural gas and EU emission allowances (EUAs), trading volumes ~120 TWh power and ~15 TWh gas in 2024, boosting EBITDA by about CZK 8–10 bn through optimization and hedging.
Trading supplies liquidity and market intelligence, cutting generation price volatility exposure by ~30% and guiding asset dispatch and capex timing.
- ~120 TWh power traded (2024)
