Economics and financial news

CEZ Group earned CZK 14.2 billion in the first quarter, a year-on-year increase by 43%.

The significant increase in profit is mainly caused by the growth of realization prices of generated electricity in the Czech Republic due to multi-year pre-sales on wholesale markets in Germany and additional profits from commodity trading. The COVID-19 pandemic has had only a limited impact on CEZ Group and will not affect its operations until the next quarters.
