Temelin and Dukovany output may increase by 7% y/y

The Temelin nuclear power plant will produce 15 TWh this year and Dukovany’s output may reach 16 TWh, Vladimir Hlavinka, CEZ’s board member and director of the production division, said at a press conference in Prague yesterday. Maintenance at Dukovany may be a couple of days longer next year as the plant prepares to have its 10-year operation license renewed, Hlavinka said. /Could be slightly positive as according to the official company guidance the total output from both nuclear plants should reach 30.3 TWh this year, which is of about 7% more than in 2011. The two plants produce 43 % of CEZ’s total electricity.
