SPP

What SPP does

SPP CZ, a.s. is a Czech energy retailer (dodavatel energií) supplying natural gas and electricity to households, small and medium businesses, and large-volume customers (≥630 MWh) across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, operating within the broader SPP group whose Slovak parent is the largest energy supplier in Slovakia. Headquartered in Brno (Nové sady 996/25), the company has served the Czech market for roughly a decade and reports a combined CZ+SK customer base of nearly 1.5 million. Its product portfolio centers on Plyn (gas) and Elektřina (electricity), supplemented by differentiated offerings including Chytrý plyn (Smart Gas) with exchange-linked pricing that guarantees no price increases, Plyn Start 3 roky (a fixed-price product with annual decreases through end-2026), and ISCC-certified biomethane for ESG-focused customers.

The underlying technology stack comprises a customer-facing CRM, the Moje SPP self-service portal, native iOS and Android mobile applications, and online savings calculators enabling residential and SMB switching. Distribution is multi-channel: direct-to-consumer digital self-service, inside sales via a call center, and dedicated field commercial representatives (obchodní zástupci) for large-volume accounts. Revenue is generated through volume-based consumption charges (MWh) layered with fixed monthly fees, where pricing is composed of a regulated distribution component set by ERÚ and a commercial supplier component. Procurement has been diversified beyond Russian gas, including a 93 million m³ LNG contract from the Corpus Christi terminal in Texas (April 2022), and SPP operates underground gas storage through its SPP Storage subsidiary. The company holds ISCC sustainability certification, complies with REMIT wholesale market integrity rules and GDPR, and has acted in the regulated supplier-of-last-instance (DPI) role — for example absorbing Slovakia Energy's customers in October 2021.

Revenue model

1. Natural Gas Supply: SPP sells natural gas to residential, commercial, and large-volume customers. Pricing includes a regulated distribution component (set by ERÚ) plus the supplier's commercial component. Prices can be fixed (uzavřená cena) or market-linked (spot/burza). Revenue is generated from volume-based consumption (MWh) plus fixed monthly fees.
2. Electricity Supply: SPP sells electricity to the same customer segments. Like gas, electricity pricing includes regulated distribution fees and a commercial component. Dual-fuel (gas + electricity from one supplier) bundling is available and promoted as a convenience advantage.
3. Electricity Purchase (Výkup elektřiny): SPP purchases surplus electricity from customers, particularly those with photovoltaic (FVE) installations, enabling prosumers to sell excess generation back to the grid via SPP.

• Slovakia Energy, s.r.o. (as Supplier of Last Instance)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 15 October 2021When Slovakia Energy ceased operations in October 2021, SPP stepped in as the 'supplier of last instance' (Dodavatel poslední instance, DPI) to ensure uninterrupted gas supply to Slovakia Energy's customers in Slovakia. This is a regulated public service role assumed in the public interest.
• SPP Storage (SPP Storage, s.r.o.)minorOthersSPP operates an underground gas storage facility through its subsidiary SPP Storage (sppstorage.cz), providing storage capacity services that complement its gas supply operations.
• SPP Slovensko (SPP, a.s., Slovakia)minorOthersThe Slovak parent company SPP (spp.sk) serves customers in Slovakia. SPP CZ operates in the Czech Republic as a subsidiary within the same group.

The distribution infrastructure is regulated by ERÚ and is independent of the supply business.
• Biomethane producers and agricultural/food waste suppliersminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerWith ISCC certification, SPP is able to purchase biomethane from producers who generate it from agricultural waste, food waste, animal manure, and plant material.
