What United Energy does

United Energy, a.s. (formerly Teplárna Komořany) is a Czech independent producer of electricity and thermal energy headquartered in Most-Komořany and operating under Energetický a průmyslový holding (EPH). The company operates a multi-fuel combined heat and power (CHP) generation portfolio spanning coal-fired boilers (K6, K9, K10), a biomass boiler, a waste-to-energy facility (EVO Komořany) under construction, and a new combined-cycle gas turbine (paroplynový blok) under construction, with the Siemens SGT-800 gas turbine delivering 80 MW thermal and 82 MW electrical output and 10-minute fast-start capability for grid balancing.

The company supplies district heating to residential buildings, schools, hospitals, commercial entities, and the three municipalities of Most, Litvínov, and Meziboří in the Ústecký kraj region of North Bohemia through a centralized pipeline network (CZT) operated by its sister company Severočeská teplárenská. Electricity is sold to the national grid. Subsidiary Gabit Most provides property management services to over 4,500 apartments in Most and Litvínov. The company generates revenue through recurring district heating subscriptions, usage-based electricity generation, and ancillary balancing services, with additional streams planned from waste processing fees at the new ZEVO facility.

United Energy is executing a multi-year decarbonization and capacity expansion plan, with 9+ billion CZK of capital projects underway (5+ billion CZK for ZEVO, 4 billion CZK for the CCGT unit), partly subsidized by the EU Modernization Fund. Secondary revenue streams include certified construction by-products (alternative materials and demi water), an accredited testing laboratory (including Legionella testing), and educational excursions. The company has been operating under various corporate forms since 1943 and is part of the EPH energy conglomerate led by CEO Milan Boháček.

Broad incumbents

• ČEZ Group: Czech dominant integrated utility with significant generation, heat supply, and decarbonization roadmap; broader incumbent whose heat and power activities overlap with United Energy's but spans far more geographies and generation technologies.
• Dalkia (EDF subsidiary): Major European district heating and energy services operator owned by EDF; comparable business model of municipal/industrial heat networks with multi-fuel CHP, operating at much larger geographic scale.
• Fortum: Nordic-headquartered energy group with significant district heating operations across the Baltics, Poland, and beyond; comparable as a broad incumbent focused on decarbonizing district heating with biomass, waste-to-energy, and CCUS strategies.

Direct peers

• Elektrárna Opatovice: Czech CHP plant operating within the EPH group structure, supplying heat and power; closely comparable as another coal/biomass-to-CCGT transitioning Czech teplárna with district heating obligations.
• Veolia Energie ČR: Major operator of district heating and CHP plants across the Czech Republic; directly comparable business model combining coal/biomass heat and power generation with municipal heating concessions.
• Pražská teplárenská: Czech district heating and CHP operator serving Prague; directly comparable as another major Czech teplárna running multi-fuel CHP with district heating monopoly in its service territory. Also historically linked to EPH group interests.
• MVV Energie CZ: Czech energy group operating district heating systems and CHP plants in multiple Czech cities; comparable as a multi-site Czech district heating competitor with parallel decarbonization strategy.
• Teplárna České Budějovice: Czech district heating operator serving České Budějovice; comparable regional-scale teplárna running CHP with biomass and waste-to-energy components, operating a similar business model in a single Czech city.

Others

• Carbones de Czech (CARBO): Coal mining and processing supplier historically tied to North Bohemian power generation; relevant as a fuel-supply ecosystem participant whose continuity impacts United Energy's coal sourcing decisions.
• EPH (Energetický a průmyslový holding): Parent holding company of United Energy and operator of multiple CHP and district heating assets across Central Europe; not a competitor but a strategic comparable for asset-level performance and group-wide decarbonization strategy.
