Czechia’s ČEZ Group has closed the sale of its Polish assets to ResInvest Group, including 568 MW of coal-fired facilities. The sale includes companies that own and operate two hard coal-fired power plants, namely the 330 MW Skawina (the second largest heat supplier to Kraków and the town of Skawina) and the 238 MW Chórzow (one of the largest heat suppliers to Katowice and other urban conglomerations in Silesia) with combined production of 1.4 TWh of electricity and 5,649 TJ of heat in 2023. The sale included the companies of CEZ Produkty Energetyczne Polska, which specializes in support for energy by-products resulting from the combustion of coal and biomass, and CEZ Polska (the holding company for CEZ Chorzów and CEZ Skawina). The ResInvest Group submitted the best offer in an open auction process, the deal was signed in November 2024, and it was followed by the approval from the Polish antitrust authority (UOKiK).
The sale of these Polish companies is part of the CEZ Group’s decarbonisation efforts under the Vision 2030 strategy, in which the Group is divesting certain assets in selected countries and focusing on developing renewable energy sources and modern energy services in the Czech Republic and Europe. In Poland, CEZ Group will continue developing ESCO services through Elevion Group.
