Operating revenues reached CZK 155.5 billion, increasing year-on-year by CZK 7.5 billion, i.e. by 5%.
Increase of the amount of electricity generated by new energy sources
The amount of electricity generated from traditional sources declined by 6% year on year, mainly due to growing prices of emission allowances, declining prices of electricity due to COVID-19 and also due to the timing of scheduled power source downtimes.
The year-on-year decrease in electricity generation has also been intensified by suppression of soon-to-be-closed coal-fired power plants, especially by the closure of the Prunéřov 1 Power Plant.
The amount of electricity generated by new energy sources increased by 7%, in particular due to good weather conditions in Germany and Romania.
