Recently, we had the great opportunity to visit Mrs. Jana Hamršmídová, Chairman of the Board of MND Ukraine, in their new office facilities in Lviv.
MND (Moravské naftové doly), part of the KKCG Group, is one of Central Europe’s leading energy companies, active in oil and gas production, energy storage, trading, and increasingly in renewable energy. The company operates across several European markets, including the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, and Ukraine. At the same time, MND is the biggest Czech private investor in Ukraine, which underlines the strategic depth of its long-term engagement in the country.
In Ukraine, MND has been present since 2014, focusing on natural gas extraction in Western Ukraine. Despite the challenges of war, the company has not only maintained but also expanded its operations, with the ambition to become one of the largest private gas producers in the country. Their contribution plays an important role in strengthening Ukraine’s energy self-sufficiency.
At the same time, MND is actively supporting the energy transition. A key example is the Oriv wind power plant in the Lviv region, developed in partnership with Eco-Optima and completed in 2024. With a capacity of nearly 60 MW, it delivers clean energy for tens of thousands of households.
Beyond energy, MND and KKCG demonstrate a strong long-term commitment to Ukraine through humanitarian aid, community support, and social initiatives, contributing to the country’s resilience and recovery.
We were also impressed by their new office space in Lviv, located close to the city center. The building hosts the ZAK Gallery, a unique exhibition and event space combining business, culture, and networking. It regularly serves as a platform for art exhibitions, professional meetings, and discussions, making it a vibrant hub in the city.
Thank you for the warm welcome and inspiring exchange. This visit once again confirmed the strength of Czech-Ukrainian cooperation and the importance of long-term partnerships in building Ukraine’s future. 🤝
