Prague water has also begun installing photovoltaic power plants in selected buildings. An additional step of Prague Water''s net zero journey is the reduction of the carbon footprint of its vehicle fleet; since 2017, Prague Water has been systematically transitioning to CNG vehicles with its goal to operate 122 CNG vehicles by 2025.
