1 The Chairman’s Statement

Ladies and gentlemen,

the year 2017 was very successful for innogy in the Czech Republic. It vindicated our decision to

associate our future with the new brand and the vision to be the energy leader. We are seeing that

our courageous bet on innovative products and services, digitalisation, and the eye-catching corporate

design has attracted customers and is gaining attention and popularity amongst them.

It continues to be true that we are successful in the competitive battle. Since 2013, we have cut the

gas price by as much as 25% in total, and thanks to this step innogy Energie has also retained its

position as the biggest player in the market. Both a stabilised customer portfolio and colder weather

contributed to our good results for 2017. We were also successful in the electricity market: having

signed some 70,000 new contracts, we confirmed our position as the fastest growing alternative

supplier.

With a view to pursuing innogy’s aspirations as a modern and innovative company, we continued to

broaden and improve the range of the products and services that we offer to our customers. We were

the first in the whole market to launch a truly smart product: a so-called consumption monitoring

‘guard’. We have developed a battery system for rooftop photovoltaic power stations which is

adjusted to the Czech way of electricity metering by phase, and started to robotise our administration.

New and more clearly laid out bills for energy supply, with a QR code for fast mobile payment, were

also beneficial: they show our effort to be responsive to customer needs and our agile approach to

their requirements and to new trends.

A significant part of the activities carried on by innogy in the Czech Republic is attributable to our

distribution companies. Their strategic role in supplying the population with natural gas is the reason

why we place such emphasis on the safety and reliability of distribution system operation. This is

supported by a number of our capital projects. One of them has resulted in the deployment of new

technology enabling gas pipeline repair from the inside. Nevertheless, more visible from the

customer’s perspective were the launch of a redesigned free web application Gas Distribution Online

and our technical assistance services for connecting to the distribution system. We also registered

thousands of new gas connections in the wake of the support we had provided to applicants for ‘boiler

subsidies’ as well as thanks to our active campaign.

In 2017, innogy Gas Storage put into operation a new connection between the Dolní Dunajovice gas

storage facility and the gas transmission system. The company, the largest storage system operator in

the Czech Republic, managed the extreme load well, in particular in January, an extremely frosty

month, when more than one half of gas supply for the whole country flowed from our gas storage

facilities.

innogy Energo registered increasing demand for compressed natural gas (CNG). The continued rollout

of the CNG fuelling station network across the Czech Republic also helped to increase CNG sales,

specifically by 20% year-on-year. The retrofit of the Náchod CHP plant also continued. We are

gradually replacing the current coal-fired district heating system with environmentally-friendly natural

gas, using high-efficiency combined heat and power generation.

The Czech Republic reported the lowest rate of unemployment in the European Union in 2017.

Its economic boom caused the labour market’s particularly high demand for workforce in all

professions. In line with our objective to be the employer of choice for the best talents and experts on

the market, we therefore initiated talks with trade unions. The result is an overall increase in the

income of employees in the innogy group in the Czech Republic by 18% on average in 2017-2020. This

exceptional decision constituted appreciation for our employees’ performance and clearly indicates

our good financial results in the Czech Republic, for which I would like to express thanks to all those

with whose contribution we were able to continue pursuing our vision.

2 Report of the Supervisory Board for 2017

The Supervisory Board of innogy Česká republika had three members in 2017. In 2017, the Supervisory

Board continuously monitored the Company’s business activities and results and the Board of

Directors’ performance of its powers and responsibilities in the Company’s business activities. The

Supervisory Board reviewed whether the Board of Directors acted in accordance with generally

applicable legislation, the Company’s Articles of Association, and the decisions adopted by the sole

shareholder acting in the capacity of the General Meeting.

In 2017, the Supervisory Board held two ordinary meetings and had a quorum. Further, it adopted one

resolution ‘per rollam’. At its meetings the Supervisory Board discussed all matters for which it is

responsible under the relevant legislation, the Company’s Articles of Association, and the decisions

adopted by the sole shareholder acting in the capacity of the General Meeting, including the

documents that the Supervisory Board requested from the Board of Directors as part of its supervisory

activity. Members of the Board of Directors commented on these documents when they were

discussed by the Supervisory Board.

In performing its supervisory activity the Supervisory Board did not find anything inconsistent with

generally applicable legislation, the Company’s Articles of Association, or the decisions of the sole

shareholder acting in the capacity of the General Meeting.

On 9 March 2018, the Supervisory Board reviewed the Company’s financial statements for 2017,

the Board of Directors’ proposal for the distribution of profit for 2017, and the Report on Relations

for the accounting period of 2017. The Supervisory Board noted that the Company had not sustained

any damage caused by the operations described in this report, and it had therefore not been required

to compensate for such damage.

The Supervisory Board concluded that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the

financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2017, its financial performance and its cash flows

for 2017 in accordance with Czech accounting legislation.

The Supervisory Board recommends to the General Meeting to approve the financial statements for

2017 and the Board of Directors’ proposal for 2017 profit distribution.

The Supervisory Board expresses its gratitude to all employees for their work performed for

the Company in 2017.

Profit after taxation (under the Group’s accounting manual) of the innogy Group in the Czech Republic

amounted to CZK 10,498 million in 2017. Its profit before taxation amounted to CZK 12,848 million.

Revenues, expenses and profit of the Company

The Company’s financial results were significantly impacted by the national merger of the Company

(the acquiring company) and innogy Business Services CZ, s.r.o. (the acquired company). The acquired

company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

For 2017, innogy Česká republika achieved a profit after taxation of CZK 5,495 million. Profit before

taxation amounted to CZK 5,569 million.

The total operating income amounted to CZK 2,267 million and total operating expenses were

The financial result amounted to CZK 5,465 million. This result was mainly achieved thanks to income

from long-term investments in the form of profit distribution amounting to CZK 4,861 million.

Structure of assets and liabilities and equity

Structure of assets

As at 31 December 2017, the Company’s total assets increased by CZK 1,891 million to CZK 76,993

million compared with 31 December 2016. Fixed assets decreased by CZK 447 million to CZK 60,189

million. The change is mainly due to a decrease in the Company’s investments by CZK 802 million and

an increase in loans and borrowings (up by CZK 299 million) in controlled entities.

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

13

Current and other assets increased by CZK 2,338 million and amounted to CZK 16,804 million

as at 31 December 2017. In the current assets category, short-term receivables increased by CZK 2,454

million year-on-year. Short-term receivables accounted for 97% of total current and other assets. The

increase in short-term receivables was mainly due to the larger volume of cash pooling receivables due

from companies in the innogy Group (up by CZK 1,973 million).

Financial assets showed a year-on-year decrease by CZK 120 million. Other assets, comprised of long-term receivables, and prepayments and accrued income, increased by CZK 5 million. Structure of assets (CZKm)

Structure of liabilities and equity

The Company’s equity grew by CZK 1,853 million to CZK 54,081 million as at 31 December 2017 and

accounted for 70% of the Company’s total liabilities and equity. The main reason for this growth in

equity is the improved result for the current accounting period, up by CZK 2,129 million.

Liabilities, accruals and deferred income amounted to CZK 22,912 million, and 55% of them were

short-term liabilities.

Risk management

At the Company, its Board of Directors is responsible for risk management.

The Company records all identified risks in the Risk Catalogue. All risks are also recorded in a matrix of

risks, which helps to identify the most serious risks in terms of the probability of their occurrence and

size of potential damage. For each risk, the risk owner is clearly defined and is responsible for

managing this risk. The Company covers the most significant risks with the help of insurance, hedging

transactions, caps on risk positions, provisioning, and the application of various preventive measures,

depending on the nature of each particular risk.

The business unit formed of the subsidiary companies innogy Energie, s.r.o. and innogy Energo, s.r.o.

has also set up a Risk Management Committee, the members of which are representatives of the

managements of the two companies. The Risk Management Committee mainly focuses on the

proactive management of the market and credit risks to which the companies are exposed when

trading in commodity markets and also when supplying energy and services to their customers.

The Company measures all derivatives at their fair value as at the balance sheet day. The Company

does not use hedge accounting.

4.2 innogy’s Business Activities in the Czech Republic

Natural gas and electricity trade

The year 2017 was marked by a further consolidation of the new brand, innogy, which has been

confirmed by the continued stabilisation of the portfolio of customers taking natural gas and the

continued growth of the portfolio of customers taking electricity, and also other successful projects

and products in non-commodity services.

New customers have signed up for the breakthrough solution for household consumption monitoring

in the form of the innosvět service, household insurance, and rooftop photovoltaic systems. In the

segment of Individually Operated Customers, new forms of cooperation were offered in advisory

services (for example, the iClever service) and primarily an innovative solution for industrial LED

lighting under the iSmart brand opened another successful stage in non-commodity services.

Intensively pursuing its business strategy, innogy Energie, s.r.o. was able to retain its market leadership

in natural gas sales; it also followed up on the dynamic growth of its electricity market share in

previous years. In 2017 again, innogy Energie was one of the most successful players selected by

customers when switching their supplier for a new partner.

As regards the temperature profile, with its average temperature of 8.61 °C (source: CHMI) 2017 was

again warmer than the long-term normal temperature, which is 7.89 °C. Nevertheless, the negative

impact of temperatures on the natural gas volumes sold was offset by the significantly higher

consumption in January, which was much colder than the long-term normal temperature and the

same month in preceding years.

Natural gas sales

In 2017, innogy Energie, s.r.o. sold 28,362,597 MWh of natural gas to its final customers. Compared

with 2016, the sales to final customers declined by 3,104,990 MWh (down by 10%), mainly due to

sales in the Large Customers category. The drop in sales in this category (down by 18%) is mainly

related to the loss of key accounts. The Small Customers category also registered a slight decline (by

1%), as did the Households category (by 0.4%).

Natural gas purchase

In 2017, natural gas purchase amounted to 29,200,153 MWh (largely from RWE Supply & Trading CZ,

a.s.; sourcing from other suppliers was insignificant). Compared with 2016, total procurement

decreased by 2,743,492 MWh, mainly due to lower sales.

Electricity sales

Electricity was sold to customers in three basic categories. The most important category continued to

be Large Customers, followed by Small Customers, Households (MOO), and Small Customers, Business

(MOP).

innogy Energie, s.r.o., sold a total of 2,637,918 MWh of electricity to its final customers. The quantities

sold to final customers surged by 15% year-on-year, mainly thanks to the continued organic growth of

the Small Customers, Households (MOO) portfolio.

Electricity purchase

In 2017, electrical energy purchase for final customers amounted to 3,251,025 MWh (largely from

Slovenské elektrárne, a.s., RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, and Sokolovská uhelná, právní nástupce, a.s.;

sourcing from other suppliers was negligible). Total procurement rose by 517,240 MWh compared

with 2016.

Marketing activities

Without exaggeration, the year 2017 can be called the year of innogy and continued re-branding.

While in 2016 the Marketing department of innogy Energie, s.r.o. presented the new innogy brand to

all customers, both current and prospective, in 2017 it continued to promote it through support for

the values offered and embodied by the new brand. Let’s remember that innogy is an acronym

composed of three important words, the combination of which is the expected basis of our continued

business success in the Czech Republic and in Europe. The words are innovation, technology, and

energy. Fusing them to form innogy makes it very clear that it will be the technology and innovation

leader in the energy world, offering its customers products and services that will make their everyday

life easier and more pleasant.

Evidence of this strategy, pursued in 2017, can be seen primarily in the new and unique Consumption

Monitoring service (launched in September 2017), which includes the innosvět mobile application and

an energy consumption sensor based on the Internet of Things (the whole service is hereinafter

referred to as innosvět). innosvět is a new form of service, thanks to which the traditional energy

sector expands beyond its original realm and starting to offer customers its own services with a high

added value. What does the innosvět service actually involve? For the first time ever, customers have

been given an opportunity to keep energy consumption in their households fully and continuously

under their control, including predictions of consumption. The consumption sensor installed on the

gas meter can send current consumption data to innogy at regular intervals for further processing.

Together with the new innosvět mobile application, the sensor provides customers with continuous

online information about gas consumption. It offers them, particularly when an underpayment for the

current billing period is expected, an immediate response preventing unexpected energy

underpayments. The innosvět application, available for the Android and iOS mobile platforms, also

offers a number of other functionalities and useful gadgets.

innogy’s new communication style that compares two selected historical periods, presenting all the

benefits of the new service using the contrast resulting from the comparison, was the basis for

introducing the innosvět service. The Marketing department developed the new communication style

in the first half year to replace the Jarmil’s Family stories that had been used until then; they were,

after all, too closely tied to the original RWE brand. The results of the new form of communication to

date (AdTrack 1/2018) vindicate the change, proving that both customers and employees have

positively reacted to this new form of communication. In 2017, Marketing of innogy Energie, s.r.o.,

working together with the Company’s Corporate Affairs, also continued in its support for the

partnership with the Czech Lion awards through an accompanying advertising campaign with a popular

group of actors and audience appeal. This time, the cast was directly associated with that of Anděl

Páně 2 (Angel of the Lord 2), a sequel to a popular fairy tale, which is part of the long-term Energy of

Czech Film sponsorship project.

Naturally, support for all other products and services continued in 2017. Earlier launched services and

products with a higher added value, such as household insurance policies offering customers a high

level of coverage for their households and featuring quick compensation payments and the lease of

economical LED bulbs and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, were further promoted. New

services were also launched: the installation of rooftop photovoltaic systems and special incentives

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

offering electric bicycles at low prices. In the sale of conventional commodities, the offer of innovative

pricing products (mainly within the CRM system) was continued and support was provided to a further

simplification of customer service processes, in particular regarding digitalisation. During the year, the

implementation of a new CMS, called SiteCore, was prepared and additional online services such as

prepisenergii.cz and innogy24.cz were developed.

The Marketing department of innogy Energie, s.r.o. also supported the branch network and sought to

improve the footfall in the branches. In 2017 it therefore launched a unique book series, The innogy

Library; exclusive publications written by pre-eminent personalities of Czech culture (Václav

Postránecký, Tereza Kostková and others) were released as part of this book series. Customers could

receive one of these books as an exclusive gift for signing a contract or an addendum to a contract. In

case of their interest, we also offered them the opportunity to have the book signed by the author at

one of the autograph sessions organised right at our branches. The second half of the year also saw

the start of the preparations for the pilot redesign of the Ostrava branch. The key objective of this

project is to make the ambience of the customer centre more attractive and offer an experience

comparable with that of calling on a sales or technology “boutique”.

Natural gas distribution

In natural gas distribution, GasNet, s.r.o. operates a distribution system serving an area, defined in its

licence, which is the largest in the Czech Republic in terms of the area covered by and the length of the

operated gas pipelines. A distribution system operator’s key obligations include providing for the safe,

reliable and economical operation and the maintenance, replacement and development of

the distribution system in the delineated area, while gaining funds for these activities by selling

distribution capacity. Natural gas distribution is subject to regulation; in particular the Energy

Regulatory Office (ERO) oversees distribution system operators’ non-discriminatory approach. The ERO

also sets out the gas distribution charges and approves distribution system operators’ grid codes, and

adjudicates any disputes between market participants.

As at 31 December 2017, the system served 2,297,867 supply points. Although the number of supply

points declined by 1,535 year-on-year the natural gas quantity distributed in 2017 increased by about

3.5% to 73 TWh.

The Online servis PDS [DSO Service Online] application continued to be the main communication

channel between the distribution system operator and distribution network users. Compared with the

preceding period, a relatively significant increase was registered for all indicators of the utilisation of

the application. The number of logins into this application was a record, almost 149,000 in 2017, i.e.

408 logins per day on average. End users submitted 334,000 requests related to distribution capacity

booking (915 requests per day on average) and 185,000 readings (507 readings per day on average)

via the application.

A new feature implemented in the Online servis PDS application in 2017 is the option for the user to

plan the specific date for servicing jobs involving the installation and dismantling of metering

instruments. The deployment of this functionality has enhanced comfort on the part of customers; in

most cases, the customer is in direct contact with the sales person and can therefore plan already at

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

19

this stage, through the sales person, the specific date for metering instrument installation or

dismantling, immediately knowing the free dates available for this service.

In the Distribuce plynu online [Gas Distribution Online] application, primarily intended for submitting

applications for connection to the distribution system in all customer categories, applications for

opinions on non-gas construction projects, requests to check available capacity and requests for vector

data, has been modified in terms of the provision of topographies to applicants in the Contractor

category (construction firms). Solely External Topography Managers are now providing topographies

to applicants. The total number of requests and applications submitted through the Distribuce plynu

online application rose to 256,000.

As in preceding years, in 2017 customer systems were further developed to match the requirements

of the evolving gas market and to help support new services.

A major innovation in 2017 was the launch of a service that simplifies and expedites the re-connection

of supply points. Customers can now place orders for the verification of the technical condition of

their gas consuming equipment/appliances; this service is then carried out as part of supply point

connection. This eliminates the need to arrange for the verification of the technical condition of the

gas consuming equipment/appliance, including the relevant certificate, with a third-party entity in a

separate step before gas meter installation. The new service is intended for all customers in the

category of small customers and households (MODOM), who are re-connecting following prior

disconnection, provided that no more than six months have passed from the disconnection date.

The legislative requirements under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the

Council (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR), the purpose of which is to tighten the rules for

personal data protection, have precipitated heavy impacts on information systems. Because of

the voluminous nature of the issue GDPR implementation is being addressed by the Company in a

separate project, which will extend into 2018.

In the spirit of the latest trend of using mobile applications, customers were provided with a mobile

application for collecting meter readings; for MODOM customers, the application helps to transmit

data on gas consumption at their supply points, both data on their reference self-readings and data on

readings taken for the purpose of extraordinary billing, very conveniently.

The new services that provide customers with a better picture of their off-take profile and the status

of the distribution system include the sending of informative text messages on the overstepping of

their booked distribution capacity and the service (which is being prepared) of sending informative

text messages in case of unplanned outages of the distribution system.

Preventive measures to avoid illegal off-takes continue to be sought proactively. For this purpose a

pilot project called Smart Metering has been launched, whereby a gas meter featuring a function of

gas supply cut-off via remote transmission is installed at supply points that have been repeatedly

disconnected for illegal gas off-takes. In the light of the favourable experience, the gradual rollout of

this type of gas meters can be expected in the coming years.

Representatives of GasNet, s.r.o. also participated in European DSOs’ joint activity concerning the

monitoring and evaluation of methane emissions from distribution systems with a view to developing

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

20

a standardised European methodology for methane emission evaluation in the operation of up to

1.5MPa natural gas distribution systems.

In 2017, GasNet, s.r.o. continued to increase its investment activity somewhat, chiefly focusing on

enhancing the safety and reliability of the distribution infrastructure. Investment in tangible assets rose

to CZK 3,845 million; investment in intangible assets also rose slightly year-on-year, and amounted to

CZK 123 million.

The largest part (CZK 3,397 million) of these funds is being channelled into the renovation of

the distribution system due to the extent of the distribution network and its age: a part of the system

has been developed since the 1940s.

The investment plans for network upgrades are always subjected to a multi-criteria assessment based

primarily on the overall optimisation of the network, the underlying design of which reflects the

specific demand for gas at each particular site. When implementing these plans, the company

successfully coordinates construction work with other utility infrastructure managers, which helps to

cut costs and mitigate the negative impacts of refurbishment on citizens in the affected localities.

CZK 67 million was spent on acquiring new networks, and the downward trend in these acquisitions

therefore continues; the trend began to be felt in previous years and is attributable to the high level of

gas supply penetration achieved in our distribution area. Establishing easements over operated gas

pipelines also incurs a significant part of financial costs, specifically CZK 79 million in 2017.

In the intangible assets category, investments were mainly channelled into information system

security, compliance with the cyber security law, preparations for GDPR, and software support for

field workers in capital construction. Some of the intangible asset expenditure was spent on preparing

general development plans for the areas in question.

In 2017, R&D mainly focused on issues related to improving the efficiency and safety of the operation

of the distribution system and also the development of digitalisation. Specific examples include the Air

Screening project based on the principle of the remote sensing of the Earth. From above, at distances

ranging from tens of metres to hundreds of kilometres, the surroundings of distribution gas pipelines

can be scanned; the operating conditions such as gas leakages and activities in protection and safety

zones can subsequently be evaluated. When testing selected equipment in the field, its capabilities

and limits were assessed as part of preparing the conditions for its potential deployment in practical

operation. The completion of testing in one of the phases of the Building Information Modelling (BIM)

project, focused on digitising the input information for gas regulating stations, continued in 2017 using

360° software applications. The results of the testing yielded to date create realistic conditions for the

future satisfaction of the requirements for digitalisation in relation to the changes being prepared as

part of the state administration’s strategy. Another important area was preparations for natural gas

greening, which in practice means injection of renewable gases, including those based on biomethane,

into the distribution system. GasNet, s.r.o. has therefore actively joined a European project managed

by GERG (The European Gas Research Group), the objective of which is to specify the conditions for

the development of harmonised EU legislation. A very important parameter of renewable gases is

their quality specs, which was also a focus of this project. The process, now already organised on a

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

21

regular basis, of monitoring new technologies and energy market developments, and also the target

areas for preparing and awarding new research projects, continued in 2017.

Natural gas storage

innogy Gas Storage, s.r.o., a wholly-owned subsidiary of innogy Česká republika, operates six

underground gas storage (UGS) facilities at Dolní Dunajovice, Lobodice, Štramberk, Třanovice,

Tvrdonice and Háje. Their storage capacity totals 2.7 bcm. The first five of these UGS facilities are

situated in northern and southern Moravia, where natural geological structures, originally containing

natural accumulations of natural gas and oil, are used for gas storage. The only exception is the

Lobodice plant, which was developed in an aquifer by displacing water from porous rock. The Háje UGS

facility serves for covering peaks in natural gas demand of the industrial centres in the Central

Bohemian Region and in Prague; an excavated underground cavern has been used for gas storage

there for more than 19 years.

In operating its UGS facilities, innogy Gas Storage, s.r.o. focuses on the efficiency, reliability, availability

and flexibility of its services while ensuring a high standard of safety at work and in operations.

In 2017, innogy Gas Storage, s.r.o. carried out capital projects under the approved investment plan. It

acquired assets valued CZK 322 million, mainly in connection with improving operating safety and

reliability.

Storage capacity sales

In 2017, innogy Gas Storage, s.r.o. offered all of its services in a transparent and non-discriminatory

manner to 23 storage customers from six EU countries.

In 2017, innogy Gas Storage, s.r.o. achieved the same record number of storage capacity auctions

when it offered various combinations of working gas volumes and withdrawal/injection capacities, as

well as separate storage capacities and separate withdrawal/injection in 16 auctions. Customers

increasingly used non-standard products, including interruptible daily capacities.

Heat supply, CNG in transport, and electro-mobility

innogy Energo, s.r.o. primarily follows two core business lines. One is establishing, modernising and

operating district heating and local heat supply systems and electricity generation, including

arrangements for financing. The implementation usually takes the form of comprehensive projects for

modernising district heating systems using cogeneration units.

The other, and equally important, core business line is the rollout and operation of CNG fuelling

stations and CNG sales in transport. In 2017, innogy Energo, s.r.o. already operated more than 20 CNG

fuelling stations and it continues to prepare new sites for additional CNG stations with a view to

increasing their number by at least 15 new stations in the next two years. Leveraging the company’s

proprietary technology know-how for CNG station installation is considerably contributing to this

effort.

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

22

innogy Energo, s.r.o. also pursues business in electro-mobility, for which it has prepared a

comprehensive offer of products and services centred on charging stations. The first projects have

been carried out in this segment and innogy Energo is also set to roll out a backbone network of public

ultra-fast charging stations.

In 2017, the implementation of projects for optimising district heating operations based on high-

efficiency combined heat and power generation dominated in the area of thermal and electric energy

generation and distribution. These primarily included the completion of the installation and

commissioning of a new cogeneration unit in the town of Rumburk, the installation of a cogeneration

unit in a part of the town of Beroun, where the connection of new residential development projects to

district heating is also being prepared, and the completion of the first stage of the decentralisation of

the heat supply system in the town of Nymburk.

For the largest CHP operation of innogy Energo, s.r.o., the Náchod CHP plant, which has been

completely retrofitted, 2017 was a breakthrough year. Coal burning was definitively discontinued in

the operation and only natural gas fired boilers are producing heat now. The conversion to natural gas

has profoundly greened up the entire operation while the district heating system has been completely

modernised as a whole with a view to reducing heat distribution losses.

As regards marketing and communication activities innogy Energo, s.r.o. has put in place, in the heat

and power generation and distribution segment, a strategy for approaching potential customers

amongst municipalities and in the commercial sphere. For CNG, its activities mainly focused on

educational events targeting firms and businesses in locations with recently opened CNG fuelling

stations, also including presentations of new web and mobile applications.

4.3 Communication Activities

In 2017, the Company’s Corporate Affairs coordinated and arranged most of the internal and external

communication activities for innogy companies in the Czech Republic, in particular the completion of

the re-branding process. Thus, internal and external communication was largely centred on

communicating the new innogy brand, and also on presenting new and innovative products and

services.

The year 2017 was the twelfth season of the Energy of Czech Film sponsorship project. We supported

the following feature films: Rodinný přítel (Family Friend), Dezertér (Deserter) and Nápadník (Suitor)

from the Zahradnictví (Garden Store) trilogy of Director Jan Hřebejk, a new film made by the Svěrák

father and son duo, Po strništi bos (Barefoot), and Director Miroslav Krobot’s comedy Kvarteto (The

Quartette). Documentaries also strongly featured in the film sponsorship project. Support was

provided to footage on Vladimír Míšík, Petr Zuska, and the collaboration between conductor Daniel

Barenboim and the Prague Spring International Music Festival. This festival has long been an

inseparable part of the Company’s sponsorship activities.

In addition to our partnership with the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and Czech Film Review

Awards, the Energy of Czech Film project also includes long-standing sponsorship of the FILM

FOUNDATION, i.e. backing for talented scriptwriters. The Company contributed to the system of in-

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

23

house grants at the Film and Television Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. For

innogy Energie, s.r.o., the Company’s Corporate Affairs set up an advertising alliance with the Uherské

Hradiště Summer Film School, with Barrier-free Cinema on the occasion of the 52nd Karlovy Vary

International Film Festival, and a joint partnership for the 24th edition of The Czech Lion Awards. For

innogy Energo, s.r.o., general partnership with Cena Trilobit Beroun (the Beroun Trilobite Awards) was

arranged.

The long-term Energy of Czech Skiing sponsorship project entered into its 13th season at the end of

2017. Together with innogy Energie, s.r.o., the Company supports 13 ski resorts across the country.

Before the new season, we raised the profile of the innogy brand in the Svatý Petr ski resort in

Špindlerův Mlýn and in the SkiResort Černá hora ski resort in Pec. The Company continued to promote

safe skiing in Czech mountains by installing information and safety elements.

The long-term cooperation with ski resorts brings benefits for all innogy Energie customers who hold

the innogy Card. Cardholders can, among other things, receive a 20% discount on one-day adult ski

passes and a 10% discount on family ski passes at the entrance to ski resorts.

The eight-year partnership with Czech Television’s highly rated reality show called S ČT sport na vrchol

(All the Way to the Top with Czech Television Sport), geared towards seeking out skiing talents amongst

amateurs, continues in the 2017/2018 skiing season. The Company again helped to sponsor the

careers of young skiers at Sportovní gymnázium [a grammar school promoting sports] in Vrbno pod

Pradědem and Sportovní akademie [Sports Academy] in Špindlerův Mlýn.

In respect of financial donorship, in 2017 the Company’s key partners included the Nadace Naše dítě

foundation, the Nadace Charty 77 foundation – Konto Bariéry, the Nadace ADRA foundation, and the

ŽIVOT 90 registered institute. Through these charities, the Company allocated CZK 6 million.

In September 2017, Corporate Affairs organised Summer Sport Games for the employees of all innogy

companies in the Czech Republic. For some companies, Corporate Affairs arranged employees’ work

and social events in the regions. innogy companies’ employees could attend one of the première Po

strništi bos screenings at the end of the summer holiday months.

Our employees’ social commitment was again boosted through the innogy Companius long-term

project. It is conditional on employees’ active volunteering for a non-profit organisation that innogy

companies in the Czech Republic will support in financial or even organisational terms. In 2017, innogy

Companius worked with a total budget of CZK 1.7 million (allocated to 81 projects), and the

Company’s share amounted to CZK 1 million. The funds were mainly channelled into assistance for

sport, cultural and educational activities and also social purposes. Employees of innogy companies in

the Czech Republic actively helped during various events, such as the Prague Wheelchair Sports Club’s

Floorball Benefit Tournament, the autumn clean-up at the Paraple Centre, and the Christmas party for

elderly citizens organised by Život 90 every year.

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

4.4 Human Resources

In 2017, Human Resources focused on streamlining personnel management processes and improving

HR service provision in all innogy companies in the Czech Republic. The strategic objectives included

digitising the personnel agenda, identifying and supporting internal talents and employees in critical

positions, enhancing the Employer Brand, and also employee development and training and support

for talent. The common denominator of all Human Resources projects and activities was boosting

innogy’s good reputation as a stable, modern and innovative employer, and also support for innogy’s

commercial activities.

Last year, several major events were organised under Human Resources’ auspices, primarily on topics

of the innogy style project. It combines flexible forms of working and a personalised approach to

employees and their needs. As in preceding years, events called Brain and Breakfast, Diversity Talks,

i.e. Breakfast with…, attracted great interest. Employees had opportunities to meet interesting

personalities from science, culture, industry, sport and healthcare. In 2017, innogy was awarded as a

Family Friendly Firm. The recognition highlighted overall personnel policy in relation to employees on

maternal and parental leave and their re-integration into working life. The innogydoma platform via

which mothers and fathers on parental leave communicate with their employer was also recognised.

Human Resources were actively dedicated to the diversity programme again in 2017.

Regarding the cooperation with universities and student organisations, the Company took part in

several job fairs across the country, for example, the Career Days. August 2017 saw the successful

completion of the Trainee Programme for 2016-2017. Many graduates have found employment in

some of innogy companies in the Czech Republic. In 2017, Human Resources significantly broadened

the range of goods and services available in the electronic application for employee benefits, the

Benefit Portal. Additional bargain offers for innogy employees were obtained, primarily from suppliers

in tourism and services. Employees had an opportunity again to donate their benefit points for

charitable purposes in 2017.

Staffing levels

As at 31 December 2017, the innogy Group in the Czech Republic had 4,082 employees, of whom

the Company employed 505 as at the same date.

Wages

Wage levels continued to develop in accordance with the principles and arrangements agreed in

the Collective Agreement and Company management’s plans and intentions for human resources.

Development and remuneration

As the previous years, 2017 again saw the Annual Staff Performance Reviews (appraisals) and

Development Plan Design for all innogy employees in the Czech Republic. The sophisticated system of

training devotes great attention to upgrading employees’ professional qualifications and to their

personal development, employing the 70:20:10 model. This ratio refers to the fact that knowledge

does not mean practical skills, and we should therefore not rely only on the traditional forms of

development such as seminars and e-learning, to which we should allocate only 10% of the time

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

25

dedicated to personal and professional development. The key is to use new knowledge in practice

(70%) and receive feedback and recommendations from colleagues and managers (20%).

This model is also based on two pillars: (a) the personal responsibility and initiative of every employee

and his/her line manager, (b) effective combinations of various forms of development for acquiring

certain skills. Human Resources have a consultant’s role and guarantee the process and offering of

development activities.

Managers could also go through thematic workshops, called innovinky (formerly HR packages) in

Prague, Brno and Ostrava, while employees received information via the intranet and an educational

screen saver.

In 2017, innogy companies in the Czech Republic spent CZK 33.47 million on education and

development, which was 1.74% of the payroll costs (excluding severance pay and other one-off

rewards). In 2017, 18,980 educational events were held, attended by 4,232 employees. The total

number of participants in all educational events was 31,469. Of the above amount, the Company spent

CZK 10.92 million on education and development in 2017, i.e. 3% of its payroll costs. It organised 3,289

educational events with 541 employees attending. The total number of participants in all educational

events organised by the Company was 3,774.

Social policy

The Company performed its obligations under the Collective Agreement signed for the period from

1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018. This Collective Agreement was signed with Odborový svaz SOS

Energie [SOS Energy Trade Union], Sdružení základních organizací Odborového svazu UNIOS innogy

[Association of Branches of the UNIOS innogy Trade Union] and ECHO Teplárna Náchod in January

2016.

Although the Collective Agreement was in effect until the end of 2018, revisions were negotiated by

the Company's management and trade union representatives in the second half of 2017. The decision

was made in consideration of the favorable business performance of innogy in the Czech Republic and

our commitment to be an employer of choice for the best talents and experts on the market. The

negotiated amendments mainly include higher wages and improved working conditions in the

forthcoming years.

4.5 OHS and Environmental Protection

Occupational health and safety

The Company continued to focus on promoting the OHS culture. In 2017 workshops were again

organised for managerial personnel to enhance their positive influence on the OHS culture.

A mobile application for reporting safety walk-through inspections and interviews was also put into

operation; it is guiding us in the digitalisation direction in respect of OHS as well. The application also

helps employees to report defects in workplaces, near misses, and occupational injuries.

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

26

A number of activities also focused on compliance with the requirements of legislation. To this end,

the categorisation of work was updated and documents on fire protection, OHS, and environmental

protection rules were revised.

One of the key OHS indicators is LTIF (Lost Time Injury Frequency, i.e., the incidence of occupational

injuries resulting in incapacity for work for more than one day per million hours worked). The target for

2017 was LTIF lower than 1.85, including injuries to suppliers’ employees. The actual LTIF rate was 2.01

for all innogy companies, including occupational injuries on the part of suppliers. In total, 15

occupational injuries resulting in incapacity for work occurred in the innogy Group in 2017, of which

one in the Company. The most frequent causes of injuries were slipping, tripping, and falling. At

GridServices, s.r.o., a fatal traffic accident occurred towards the end of the year. The culprit of the

accident had not been identified by the date of this Annual Report.

Environmental protection

Environmental protection is very high on the agenda of innogy Česká republika and is covered in all of

its activities, processes and decisions. The managements of innogy companies in the Czech Republic

adopted a new Environmental Protection Policy in 2017.

In relation to a long-term environmental target, i.e. reducing NOx and CO emissions, GridServices,

s.r.o. and GasNet, s.r.o. focused on upgrading the air pollution sources in gas pre-heating at gas

regulating stations.

To mitigate the negative environmental impacts caused by the operation of underground gas storage

facilities, innogy Gas Storage, s.r.o. carried out active measures to protect biotope and to promote

biodiversity. In cooperation with Agentura ochrany přírody a krajiny [Nature Conservation Agency of

the Czech Republic] it continued in the Living Islands project – the planting of new trees and bushes as

replacement for those that had to be felled and cut in the safety and protection zones to ensure safe

operation.

innogy Energo, s.r.o. continued to upgrade the operation of CHP plants and heat supply substations,

primarily the CHP operation in Náchod. In May 2017, this CHP plant stopped coal burning and now

produces heat using solely natural gas boilers.

innogy Energo, s.r.o. continued investing in CNG station network rollout. CNG vehicles feature zero

emissions of sulphur, particulate matter, and aromatic hydrocarbons, and are therefore

environmentally friendlier.

innogy Energie, s.r.o. and GasNet, s.r.o. are the entities that are subject to the commitments arising

from the environmental agreements with the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic; these

agreements provide for the defrayal of the costs incurred in honouring environmental commitments

established before the privatisation. These include old environmental pollution caused by earlier town

gas production plants operated by the former state-owned company. In Karlovy Vary, one of the most

extensive remediation projects for old environmental pollution was started in September.

The other innogy companies in the Czech Republic had only negligible environmental impacts thanks

to their trading and administrative operations. The year 2017 did not see any environmental

innogy Česká republika | Annual Report 2017

27

emergency or event having a negative impact on the environment in the operations of innogy

companies.

4.6 Subsequent Events

No events with a major impact on the assessment of the Company’s business had occurred by the date

of this Annual Report.

On 11 March 2018, RWE AG and E.ON SE announced that they had reached agreement on the basis of

which RWE AG would sell its 76.8% stake in innogy SE to the E.ON Group. They also stated that a

binding contract had not yet been signed and that the agreement included an exchange of parts of

assets between the two companies. innogy SE is the controlling company of the innogy Group, the

structure of which also includes innogy Česká republika a.s.

4.7 Outlook

The year 2018 will be marked by the continued building of the innogy brand in the Czech market, not

only as a supplier of traditional energy services but also, and primarily, as a supplier of a continuously

widening range of non-commodity products and services. innogy Energie, s.r.o. will continue to focus

on comprehensive energy solutions based on the maximum use of new information technology and to

digitalise services, and will further build on the successful foundations laid in recent years (including

industrial lighting systems, rooftop PV systems, etc.).

For household customers, we have prepared attractive commodity products, the main objective being

to retain and develop our current customer portfolio; dynamic development in digitalisation, in

particular the next developmental stages of the innosvět product, is also a priority in this segment.

Going forward, innogy Gasnet, s.r.o. will continue in enhancing the safety and reliability of natural gas

supply to customers. This policy entails a gradual increase in the planned capital expenditure on the

renovation of the distribution system. In 2018, capital expenditure on renovation is planned to exceed

CZK 3,400 million. When planning all capital projects, an essential factor is the economic aspect of

system operation. All capital projects are carried out in line with efforts to increase the long-term

competitiveness of natural gas as an energy commodity for decades to come. This mainly consists in

improving the efficiency of gas distribution, thereby optimising the grid operation cost to the

distributed gas quantity ratio and, in turn, the grid’s economy.

The high standard of safe operation will be maintained, primarily through the continued elimination of

technical risks as an inseparable part of the planned renovation of the grid. This will also be supported

by the new predictive model for selecting the gas installations for renovation; the model respects

experience with the development of the failure rate of each piece of equipment and so helps to

allocate funds as effectively as possible with a view to minimising leakages.

The key objectives of distribution system development include support for projects that help to

improve the efficient and economical operation of the various sites, such as housing and industrial

construction, and also support for strategically important projects such as the rollout of CNG stations.

In this respect, a great emphasis is also placed on unused gas service pipes. The plan is to arrest the

trend of their increasing numbers and to gradually bring them back to life again.

innogy Energo, s.r.o. will continue to roll out the CNG fuelling station network so as to be able to offer

its services in new regions. It will also continue to work on popularising CNG as a major alternative fuel

contributing to transport greening while also offering an appreciable benefit in fuel cost savings.

Besides CNG, innogy Energo, s.r.o. started to promote its services in electro-mobility. It will develop its

offer to install charging stations at customers while preparing its own portfolio of public charging

infrastructure, all of this in line with innogy’s overall strategy.

The optimisation and modernisation of district heating systems will also continue with a view to

providing for a competitive range of services in this sector as well. In addition to upgrading the current

operations we will also identify new acquisition opportunities and carry out solutions for new

customers, including the potential acquisition of existing operations from their original owners.

Gas storage prices have been low throughout Europe for several years, and so the medium-term

outlook for innogy Gas Storage, s.r.o. remains constant.

In respect of internal processes, innogy is facing the challenging implementation of the legislative

requirements related to GDPR.
