Slovenské elektrárne will pay out dividends for the first time since 2006

Slovenské elektrárne will pay out dividends for the first time since 2006, shareholders’ meeting decided. It agreed with the government to suspend dividends in 2008 when it started the completion of the Mochovce nuclear power plant. It spent €6.6bn instead of the originally planned €2.8bn. The Czech EPH (Daniel Křetínský and Patrik Tkáč) controls 66% of the shares and the state has 34%. Dividends will amount to €500m, of which the state will receive €170m. Last year, SE reported a net profit of €815m.
