Jablonec Energetická

What Jablonec Energetická does

Jablonecká energetická a.s. ("JE") is a municipally owned Czech district heating utility headquartered in Jablonec nad Nisou, in operation since 1891 (reorganised under its current name and 100% city ownership in 2013). It operates a Central Heat Supply (CZT) network comprising 20 block gas-fired boiler stations, modern underground heat distribution pipelines, more than 100 object transfer stations, and 6 cogeneration units (KGJ) installed in cooperation with ČEZ Energo that deliver combined heat and power at up to 90% efficiency. The network supplies heat and hot water to more than 4,000 residential households as well as commercial enterprises, industrial facilities, schools, kindergartens, and sports venues in Jablonec nad Nisou, Liberec, and Rychnov u Jablonce nad Nisou.

Revenue is generated from three streams: (i) subscription-style heat and hot water supply through the CZT network, billed monthly under single-component tariffs (R1 ~4.07 CZK/kWh, R2 ~3.93 CZK/kWh, unchanged since January 2024); (ii) managed services for off-network boiler rooms (servicing, inspections, gas procurement, remote monitoring); and (iii) energy-management services, including the role of Statutory Energy Manager for the City of Jablonec nad Nisou since March 2022, covering modernization of 39 municipal buildings. Distribution and customer engagement are direct — a dedicated commercial team targets housing cooperatives (SVJ), municipal clients, and commercial/industrial accounts through a sales process, a toll-free line (800 300 888), and a 24/7 dispatch hotline. The company is currently deploying the 165M CZK "FVE II" solar and storage project (~3.2 MWp across 60+ municipal buildings, partly EU-subsidised) and a 5G smart-heating modernisation project; both flow through the regulated energy community "Planeta Jablonec," registered with the Energy Regulatory Office in December 2024.
