Our Vision Is Smart and Ecological Energy (2. strana)

BUSINESS Region alone. We also remembered our clients, and hospitals were offered back-up generators in case of a blackout. Will the post-COVID era bring a new vision for ČEZ ESCO? Like other businesses, our internal processes are heading towards greater digitization. As for our customers, we immediately started solutions, projects, and products that do not require capital investments because businesses as well as public administration will have to be careful with each and every cent. This is why our EPC projects of energy savings work so well: the investment is paid by the actual savings. These projects fit well in hospitals, which have been seriously hit by the crisis. For example, the hospital in Jihlava already saves thirteen million CZK annually, which can now be invested in patient care. Together with the Ministry of Health Care, we are developing the promotion of similar projects. We have prepared a project in cooperation with Komerční banka (Commercial Bank) which allows the installation of roof photovoltaic panels and other ecological products without initial investments because these too will be paid for from the actual energy savings. You come from the North of Moravia. Will you recommend our readers a resource of energy where you personally recharge your batteries? Probably not because all my life I have been searching for the proper “work-life balance”. As far as an “institutionalized recharge” is concerned, my resource is ČEZ, of course, because in the former Czechoslovakia, we still have no competitor. Thank you for the interview.
