CEZ Power Company would not like to sell its share in Severoceska energetika

CEZ´s attorneys, on behalf of CEZ Power Company, have lately filed for a change of a precedent decision of the UOHS (Office for the Protection of competition), which had decreed that CEZ, apart from other things, should sell a majority share in one of Czech distributional firms of the CEZ Group. CEZ has decided that the possibly sold company would be Severoceska energetika (SCE), where CEZ owns 56.93 %.

The operating revenues of CEZ have increased by 2 billion CZK and have reached 8.4 billion CZK.

The operating revenues of CEZ Power Company increased by 32.2 per cent to 8.4 billion CZK in the first three quarters of this year. The electricity sale incomes increased by 6.6 billion CZK (by 17.6%) and reached 44.2 billion CZK. The economic results of last year were influenced by the single and unrepeatable income from the sale of 66 % share in CEPS, which has been only partly offset by this year´s sales of 34 % shares in CEPS and Prazska energetika. As a result the net profit has decreased by 27.3 % to 9.9 billion CZK compared to last year. If we excluded this influence, the net profit would be higher than last year.
