The MVV Group has significantly strengthened its energy services division and is acquiring new projects
"We are among the longest-active companies providing EPC services on the market. With the expansion of the team, our range of services has become more comprehensive and at the same time we are ready for a multiplier effect in the number of orders and their size. We are responding to the sharply growing customer demand for energy savings," says Jörg Lüdorf, Chairman of the Board of MVV Energie CZ a.s., according to whom this type of service will make up an increasingly significant share in the group's total sales.
Thanks to new experts, the Energy Services Division has been strengthened mainly at the level of technology, project activities and the implementation phase. As a result, it can meet new demands from industrial companies or MVV's subsidiaries. There are fourteen of these, with a number of customers who would welcome or are already planning a decrease in the energy consumption of buildings in their ownership or administration.
The expansion of the EPC expert team also enables the development of completely new activities. These include, for example, the technical and energy improvement of buildings at the level of construction and technology, the implementation of the Design & Build method, adaptation to increasingly stringent ESG conditions (environmental, social and corporate governance), or advice on subsidies and the financing of EPC projects.
