ČEZ ESCO and CTP launch the largest rooftop photovoltaic system in South Moravia

CTP and ČEZ ESCO announce the launch of new solar power plants in and around Brno, the Czech Republic’s second-largest city. The combined 5.5 MW rooftop installation is the largest project of its kind in the South Moravian region and will reduce emissions by more than 2,800 tons of CO₂ per year. A total of nearly 86,000 sqm of solar panels—corresponding to 12 football pitches—will cover the rooftops of industrial buildings at CTPark Brno and CTPark Brno South. The projects are part of the long-term cooperation between the two companies to develop sustainable energy solutions across CTP’s portfolio of industrial parks.

At completion, the photovoltaic (“PV”) power plants at CTPark Brno, located in the Černovické terasy industrial zone, and CTPark Brno South in nearby Blučina will produce over 5.2 GWh of emission-free energy per year, a volume corresponding to the consumption of 1,500 average households. At CTPark Brno, PV systems are currently operating in trial mode on two rooftops, while at CTPark Brno South, ČEZ ESCO is completing the largest rooftop PV installation in South Moravia with a capacity of 3 MWp.

Project Blučina
The installation of a PV system with a capacity exceeding 3 MW is being finalised at CTPark Brno South, making it the largest rooftop PV system in the South Moravian region. Covering an area of over 51,000 sqm, it will produce 2.8 GWh of clean energy and save 1,600 tons of CO₂ emissions per year. The tenant of this building is Inventec, a manufacturer of chips for the automotive industry.

Project in Černovické terasy
ČEZ ESCO has also installed photovoltaic systems on the rooftops of two buildings at CTPark Brno. One building serves as a warehouse for server and data storage manufacturer Wistron, while the other is used as storage and production space by the technology companies Honeywell and Hitachi. The nearly 35,000 sqm of PV panels on both roofs corresponds to the area of five football pitches. The annual volume of electricity production reaches 2.3 GWh—more than half of which is consumed by Wistron in its operations.

Wistron has a long history of focusing on optimising energy consumption. The company uses an energy consumption monitoring system to help optimise operations, reduce costs, and increase sustainability. Thanks to accurate measurements, the company monitors electricity consumption in key parts of their operational facilities—from air conditioning and lighting to server rooms, production halls, and the canteen. The system allows for quick identification of deviations and inefficient consumption, which enables better cost planning and increased energy efficiency across the entire company.

CTP is currently exploring other opportunities for cooperation with ČEZ ESCO that would contribute to energy savings and greener operations. These include, for example, the installation of energy-efficient lighting or heating, air conditioning, and ventilation. ČEZ ESCO’s subsidiary AZ Klima is building these technologies for CTP, particularly in the South Moravia region. Another opportunity for greener operations is to use comprehensive energy-saving projects in the form of energy performance certificates (“EPCs”), where the supplier guarantees in the contract that specific energy savings will be achieved.
