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.
