Energetické Centrum

What Energetické Centrum does

Energetické centrum s.r.o. is a biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) utility headquartered in Jindřichův Hradec, Czech Republic, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ČEZ Teplárenská a.s. within the ČEZ Group. The company's core activity is the cogeneration of electricity and thermal energy from agricultural biomass (compressed straw and hay bales), executed through a 19.25 MW steam boiler (K5), a 10 MW hot water boiler (K6), and a 5.6 MW condensing extraction turbine (TG3), supplemented by a 1,000 m³ hot water accumulator for peak load management and a newly added photovoltaic (FVE) installation. Annual production is approximately 120,000 GJ of heat and 40,000 MWh of electricity, with a dominant share of electricity exported to the 22 kV distribution grid.

The company serves three primary customer groups within the Jindřichův Hradec region: residential housing estates (Jitka, Bobelovka, and two larger city estates distributed via Teplospol a.s.), industrial tenants located in the former Jitka textile complex, and water supply customers receiving drinking water and metering services through company-owned infrastructure. Revenue is generated through subscription-style heat supply tariffs, usage-based electricity sales, and recurring water supply fees, all governed by regulated Czech tariff frameworks. Pricing schedules for thermal energy and water are publicly disclosed and updated annually.

Energetické centrum traces its origins to the 1950s as the energy division of textile manufacturer Jitka a.s., was spun off as a separate entity in 2002, became part of the ČEZ Group via the CZECH HEAT a.s. acquisition in 2009–2010, and was consolidated under ČEZ Teplárenská in 2022. The asset base has been progressively modernized through the 2008 BIOWATT biomass conversion, the 2019 ecologization project replacing fossil-fuel boilers with biomass K6, the 2023 commissioning of FVE solar generation, and the January 2023 sustainability certification under EU Directive 2018/2001 (RED II) for renewable biomass energy.
