The Czech government has confirmed plans to buy out minority shareholders in the country's energy plants as part of a new package agreed by the coalition government.

The government will take steps to gain 100 percent control over all electricity generation facilities owned by state-controlled energy company, CEZ. The deal will pave the way for new investments in nuclear reactors and gas plants, according to the political agreement.

Minority owners who currently hold shares in CEZ's assets will be bought out through targeted share buybacks, which, according to the plans, will not burden the state budget.
