components, maintenance and repairs). For the traditional energy sector it produces generators and components for diesel sets and reserve resources (100 kVA– 20 MVA).

Potential in the East The company exports 80 per cent of its output. The generators for small hydro power plants are sold mainly in Norway, Italy and Austria where there is a high percentage of hydro power plants (in Norway over 99 per cent). The company also focuses on nonEuropean markets e.g. Turkey and North America and its management sees high

potential in the Russian market. It has signed an agreement to deliver 56 generators with a total output over 130 MW for the building, redesign and upgrade of small hydro power plants over the next seven years. The producer has become the sole generator supplier for these plants. It will deliver 27 generators with a total output of 59 MW between 2013 and 2016 plus a further 29 hydro generators with the output of 78.5 MW between 2016 and 2020. The company is going to enlist a local Russian producer in localising future potential projects. Moreover, the Czech manufacturer is discussing the delivery of special testing stations for the heavy transport machinery sector.

Investing in the future The latest news is the opening of a new prototype centre for the production and testing of generators and engines with an output of up to 20 MW. The centre was developed
