The Czech Republic's National Action Plan for the Development of Nuclear Energy, approved by the government in June 2015, says that a precondition for long-term operation of nuclear power plants is having domestic engineering capacity of sufficient scope and quality to support new build, operation, decommissioning and waste management. Key to this is that Czech companies would play a "significant" role in the engineering procurement and construction of new power reactors, which would leave them with appropriate capabilities for ongoing work in operation and maintenance. The government also expects these capabilities to translate into contracts in other countries.

The government took note that Czech industry has "the ability ... to produce, supply and put into operation the entire nuclear island, including the nuclear reactor," which it values as "directly related to the future independence of the Czech side in servicing and maintaining the nuclear power plant." It said, "In the context of Europe, this is a completely unique capability and this must be taken into account when negotiating the scope of supply when communicating with potential bidders." It noted that Skoda JS is currently the main contractor for the completion of Mochovce 3 and 4 and has been undertaking primary circuit work.
