The extension of the Dukovany nuclear power plant is one of the most significant infrastructure projects in the history of the Czech Republic. The involvement of Czech industry in this strategic investment was the main topic of the Czech-Korean nuclear conference.
What can MICo offer?
MICo s.r.o. has many years of experience in manufacturing key equipment for secondary circuits in nuclear power plants. For the new units of the Dukovany nuclear power plant, it is capable of manufacturing and supplying, in particular:
Czech industry and KHNP: Opportunity at 60%
At the last Czech-Korean nuclear conference, the Czech side was assured that if Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) is selected as the supplier, Czech industry will be given the opportunity to supply up to 60% of construction and technology contracts between 2025 and 2039.
This would represent not only a huge investment opportunity, but also a major boost for Czech employment, innovation and the retention of know-how in the field of nuclear engineering.
On 13 June 2025, a professional presentation of Czech companies from the energy sector took place at the Czech Embassy in Budapest. The event focused on opportunities within the planned construction of combined cycle power plants in Mátra and Tisza and on the possibilities for Czech suppliers to participate in these projects.
Czech companies want a piece of the Dukovany construction project. It is almost certain that the secondary loop will remain in Czechia. And a number of other deliveries will be decided in the coming years. The participation of Czechs in other KHNP projects in Europe is highly uncertain. Sufficient participation by Czech companies in the construction of new nuclear power sources is an insurmountable "red line" in this huge contract, both for the state and for representatives of local industry. Czech companies that manufacture in Czechia, pay taxes and insurance, see the construction of the fifth and sixth units in Dukovany as a great opportunity – after all, the completion is being talked about as the project of the century.
Representatives of MICo s.r.o. and CHEMCOMEX, a.s., members of the Energy Division of CE INDUSTRIES, met with the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Czech Republic, Mr. Vasyl Zvarych, to discuss involvement in the restoration and reconstruction of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The meeting, which was also attended by MICo CEO Marián Lipovský and Sales Director Michal Balko, confirmed the growing interest of Czech companies in long-term cooperation in the region.
