CPIA was established in September 2015 as a non-exclusive partnership of companies operating in the field of design, production, supply and installation in projects of construction, service, modernization and decommissioning of energy sources, including nuclear power plants. Czech industry has a long history of supply activities in the energy sector; historically, 90% of the equipment was manufactured domestically, including key components for nuclear power plants. Know-how and craftsmanship have remained so companies are able to supply a variety of commodities, with related energy engineering around the world and nuclear power plants included. The CPIA is supported by the Czech government because it meets, among other things, the official requirements of the Updated State Energy Concept and the National Action Plan for the Development of Nuclear Energy.
