Structure of EPH (Energetický a průmyslový holding):

EP Infrastructure provides reliable, safe, and affordable energy and heat supply for European households and businesses. The company is primarily responsible for the uninterrupted supply, storage, and distribution of natural gas, which is a crucial commodity due to its flexibility and suitability for integration with renewable energy sources during the energy system transformation. EPIF understands that the role of natural gas will be temporary, thus it is implementing projects to modernize existing infrastructure for the use of zero-emission gases, such as hydrogen.

EP Power Europe generates electricity in seven European countries using a balanced portfolio of renewable and low-emission traditional sources. By strategically winding down mining and coal activities, the company is increasing investments in alternative low-emission sources.
