NPP Dukovany broke its production record from 2003 of 13.755 TWh. Power plant could reach 14.0 TWh of production by year end, which is c20% of all CEZ’s production.
Our view:
Given reliability of NPP Dukovany and gradual upgrades of its blocks this is not a surprise. Currently one of its blocks is shut down for regular maintenance and upgrade of its capacity from 440 MW to 460 MW. Block will be connected back to the grid on 13 January 2007. We see this news as neutral.
