European Commission officials continue inspections at Czech energy firms

A ČEZ spokeswoman said the inspections are expected to last several days. The European Commission officials are looking into whether ČEZ had worked to block competitors in order to boost its own position as the country’s dominant wholesale power supplier, either acting alone or in conjunction with other firms.
