CEZ: According to PM Jiri Paroubek, coal mining limits in Northern Bohemia may be broken due to the increasing price of natural resources. CEZ’s coal power plant replacement strategy is also based on mining limits in two locations - CSA with 255m tons and Bilina with 120m tons of coal behind the mining limits. Should the limits be broken, CEZ would be able to replace up to 70% of the coal power plants as opposed to 45% under current limits.
CEZ: The regulator has confirmed the price increase for electric energy for households by an average of 8.5 to 10%, which is in line with our expectations. The exact prices will be announced at the end of the month.
