The following information was filed by CEZ, a. s. in Czech language with the
Prague Stock Exchange as required by its rules and regulations:
JOINT CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICES OF MEMBERS OF RWE GROUP IN CZECH REPUBLIC AND
MEMBERS OF CEZ GROUP
Members of the RWE Group in the Czech Republic and members of the CEZ Group are
to open joint customer service offices.
o Customers in six towns are to be able to arrange for all matters
related to gas and power supply under one roof.
o RWE and CEZ Group are to cooperate for the benefit of customers.
In Prague on June 13, 2006 - Gas distribution companies who are members of the
RWE Group in the Czech Republic, and the CEZ Group, are to open joint customer
service offices. In selected towns, they are going to provide services related
to gas and power supply under one roof. The aim is to increase the availability
of services and to reduce the length of time spent in arranging for gas and
power supply. The "Power from Single Point" Project has been launched in Liberec
and Karlovy Vary (June 5, 2006), and is to continue in Olomouc and Pardubice
(July 3, 2006), and Hradec Kralove and Ostrava (August 1, 2006).
"We appreciate that members of the RWE Group in the Czech Republic have decided
to relocate some of their customer service offices to joint centers. Dealings
regarding power and gas supply will now be easier and faster for everyone. What
is more, our customers will continue using the same place, as the six new joint
offices will be opened on the premises of former contact points of the CEZ
Group," said Martin Roman, Chairman of the Board of Directors and General
Manager of CEZ, a.s.
The "Power from a Single Point" Project was first tested in Plzen. Two years of
successful operation have supported the idea of joint customer service offices.
"The first major cooperation between RWE and the CEZ Group will undoubtedly be
beneficial for the customers of both companies. We have joined with each other
with the primary goal of improving our services. Also, better availability of
our services improves our ability to compete on the open gas market," said
Dr. Ulrich Jobs, Chairman of the Board of Directors of RWE Transgas, a.s.
In the joint centers, customers can arrange for all matters related to
amendments of agreements, reporting of meter readings, complaints, and deal with
all issues they used to deal with in the original customer contact offices.
Customers of Severoceska plynarenska, a.s., Zapadoceska plynarenska, a.s.,
Vychodoceska plynarenska, a.s., and Severomoravska plynarenska, a.s. will be
informed in advance of the change of address of individual offices. Detailed
information is already available on the websites of all the companies and at the
customer telephone lines.
Scheduled Launch of Joint Customer Service Offices
June 5 Karlovy Vary, Liberec
July 3, Olomouc, Pardubice
August 1 Hradec Kralove, Ostrava
