CEZ to borrow a loan of BGN 30 mln in order to invest in the network

“A loan of over BGN 30 mln will be borrowed by the Czech CEZ energy company,” said for Klassa Peter Dokladal, Regional Manager of the company. He explained that they will use the money to finance the operations of the company. An application for approval of the loan has already been submitted to the State Energy and Water Regulatory Company (SEWRC).

Meanwhile, at a forum in the town of Sandanski, it was reported that the net profit of the companies from the CEZ Group for 2010 stood at BGN 19.5 mln. It is expected for a General Meeting of shareholders to determine whether a dividend would be distributed this year, announced Kremena Stoyanova, Executive Director of CEZ Electro Bulgaria. The investments approved by the SEWRC are not sufficient for the planned investment to be carried out. Some BGN 168 mln will be needed for the purchase of the facilities needed, according Dimo Petrov, Director of Renovation, Research and Provision of Networks division at CEZ Distribution Bulgaria. “Some BGN 12-14 mln are spent per year for the purchase of equipment,” said Petrov.

“Cable theft decreased by over 40% in the first half of the year, compared to the same period of 2010. Last year, the company lost some BGN 3.5 mln in transmission of electricity, as part of it was stolen,” said Bozidar Gatev, Director Operation and Maintenance in CEZ. “There is danger for one-third of Sofia residents to remain without electricity because of the old cables in the city centre,” stated CEZ. The company managers explained that the problem arose because of the violations on the net. Measures are already underway to secure electricity supply.

“As of August, all household customers of CEZ will be able to receive their invoices electronically,” noted Radoslav Dimitrov, Manager Customer Service. He expects serious interest in the service and about half of the clients of CEZ to revoke their paper bills. The service will be offered to business customers of the company next year.
