Profile

As a leading European multi-utility company, we are deeply committed to our communities. We actively seek pragmatic, well-considered ways to adapt our infrastructure for a sustainable future that aligns ecological goals with people’s needs.

Integrating operations from power and heat generation and distribution to innovative gas transmission and storage, our vertically integrated approach spans the entire energy value chain and crucial markets including Germany, the UK, Ireland, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.

“EPH's ultimate mission is to support the energy transition in a socially sensible and responsible way, while keeping the highest standards in promoting reliability and security of supply.” says Daniel Křetínský, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EPH.

Recognized as Important Projects of Common European Interest, our efforts are a step closer to fruition, bolstered by potential national and EU funding. Our network, predominantly comprised of hydrogen-compatible polyethylene, is primed for pure hydrogen distribution. We’re also investing in hydrogen-ready Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) projects as zero-carbon dispatchable power plants will be needed to support the intermittent renewables in the net zero energy system. This preparation is critical to our strategy, enabling us to pivot to green gases once they become widely available without risking emission lock-in effect from prolonged use of natural gas.
