The National Property Fund presidium (the NPF holds a 67% equity stake in CEZ) decided yesterday to seek new valuations of CEPS (100% owned by CEZ) and the state’s stakes in regional distributors, this toward a possible assets transfer between CEZ and the state. The new valuations will delay the implementation of the government’s energy-sector restructuring plan, which calls for the assets transfer, which decreases the likelihood of its successful completion.
