New premises for the Energy Storage Business Dispatch Centre
At the beginning of April this year, the MND ES business control room was moved to a completely newly renovated office. The former workshop of the MaR department on the third floor of the old building in Hodonín was used for this purpose. The reconstruction was carried out in cooperation with MND, a. s., where MND financed the construction works and provided all IT support, including the installation of a new technological network or connection of the main dispatching point to the central UPS. MND ES then provided the equipment at a cost of CZK 650,000 excluding VAT.
The intention when designing the new office was to combine efficient working space with a rest area, thus providing comprehensive facilities for continuous work in the business control room. The final visualisation of the office was created by interior designer Jitka Kosinová, whose design imaginatively combined functional solutions with a modern look and subtly incorporated corporate colours. Almost all the joinery work was done by Mr. Marek Řihák from BESTWOOD.
The overall project, from its commission to the final stage of implementation, took one year. Now the dispatchers can enjoy the new premises, which will certainly provide both an efficient and pleasant working environment. A big thank you to Filip Červenka, who was in charge of the new office project, as well as to everyone else who contributed in any way to the renovation.

After work fun? After work, the vineyard!
Václav Kratochvil works as an operator on the gas storage facility in Uhřice. In addition, he farms a two-hectare vineyard, where he takes care of about ten thousand heads of vines. When he goes to work, he walks - the journey takes him fifteen minutes. Just walk up the hill, walk through his vineyard and there he is. On the way back, he sees what needs to be done. "I really enjoy working on the hopper. But working in the vineyard, that's what fulfills me. I could be here all day and be happy. It clears your head," he says.
