CEZ Group Reports Record 2025 Profit, Forecasts Lower Earnings for 2026
Prague, Czech Republic – CEZ Group, a leading Central European energy company, announced a net profit of CZK 27.4 billion (approximately USD $1.2 billion) for 2025, marking a record high. The results were driven by strong performance from its nuclear power plants and growth in customer segments, according to a press release. Adjusted net profit, which determines the dividend proposal, reached CZK 28.1 billion.
The company anticipates a dividend payout of CZK 31 to CZK 42 per share, totaling CZK 17 to CZK 23 billion for shareholders. This announcement comes as the energy sector undergoes a period of significant transformation. CEZ Group’s nuclear power plants generated a record 32.1 TWh of emission-free electricity in 2025, a 2.4 TWh increase year-over-year.
Looking ahead to 2026, CEZ Group expects EBITDA to range between CZK 103-108 billion and adjusted net profit to fall between CZK 27–31 billion. The forecast suggests a moderation in earnings compared to the strong 2025 performance. Seznam Zprávy reported on the annual earnings.
Meanwhile, the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant is preparing for a planned outage of Unit 2 to facilitate a transition to longer operation intervals between shutdowns. The outage will include inspections of safety systems and the turbine, along with 80 investment projects and fuel assembly replacements, as detailed in Fio’s coverage of the event.
CEZ Group is committed to sustainable development, focusing on energy efficiency, recent technologies, and community prosperity. The company aims to contribute to the EU’s goal of obtaining at least 27 percent of its final energy consumption from renewable sources by 2030, as outlined on its official website. The company also noted that from January 1, 2026, consumers will no longer have to pay for renewable energy sources, resulting in savings of CZK 599 per MWh.
The company’s performance and outlook are being closely watched by investors as the energy market continues to evolve. Patria.cz reported on analysis from Beneš, Novák, and Cyrani regarding the results, outlook, dividend, strategy, and potential impacts of geopolitical events.
