UNCERTAINTY IN THE ENERGY SECTOR CONTINUES

4 RES – Renewable energy sources EU ETS – European Union Emissions Trading System

Reform of EU ETS and setting of rules of European energy market remain in the center of the attention of CEZ Group.

In March, the European Council postponed its decision on mandatory targets for 2030 until the end of 2014. European parliament elections, limited mandate of outgoing European Commission and priority of setting EU’s stance on development in Ukraine are the reasons. The Commission's climate package legislation proposal can be expected in H1 2015 at the earliest.

For European energy companies, this means prolonging a situation in which it is virtually impossible to make or plan any major investments.

Representatives of Europe’s leading energy companies met up with Czech Prime Minister on April 8. The Czech government and the energy companies take similar positions on major issues:

A mandatory, complementary RES share target may pose a threat to the security of electricity supplies A technology-neutral approach and free competition are preferred

Renewables should no longer be supported artificially but must compete on the free market; support should belimited to research in the area of new technologies only

Preparations for the authorization and licensing process continue (Ministry of the Environment, State Office for Nuclear Safety)

Decision on the project execution date has been postponed until these two conditions are met: Accordance with the Czech Republic’s final approved national energy strategy is confirmed Elementary requirements for achieving a positive return on invested funds are satisfied

The requirements for the project‘s feasibility are not fulfilled at the moment. On Apr 9, the Czech government adopted a resolution saying it is not

planning to provide any guarantee or stabilization mechanism for the construction of low-carbon facilities at the moment. It also declared interest in further development of nuclear energy in the

Czech Rep., promising to prepare a comprehensive plan for this areaby the end of 2014. On Apr 10, 2014, CEZ cancelled the RFP proceedings for new units

construction (EPC contractor selection) and, at the same time,confirmed that preparation of the project as such is going forward.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PROCEEDINGS TO CHOOSETHE EPC SUPPLIER, WITHIN THE PROJECT OF CONSTRUCTION OF TEMELIN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT‘S NEW UNITS, WERE CANCELED

Mar 13, the first “Station Blackout” drill ever at all 4 units confirmed the power plant’s readiness

Mar 24–27, labor inspection audit, the power plant confirmed its Safe Enterprise status

Hydro power plants – Kamýk Overhaul continues by fitting the stator of

generator TG1; the innovations increase efficiency by 5.5%

Heating – ČEZ Teplárenská The central heating system for Ledvice Town became Project of the Year 2013 – reducing the volume of

dust by 7.5 t/year

End-user prices of heat decreased by up to 6% after takeover of Teplo Klášterec

ROMANIA All the debts of the Romanian Railways (CFR) amounting to over CZK 0.5 bn have been repaid. In

addition in April national post office’s debts of CZK 0.2 bn was paid. In March, law which modifies support for renewable energy sources (including the method of green

certificate assignment) came into force, affecting the Fântânele and Cogealac wind farms came into force.

BULGARIA proceedings on revocation of the licenses of sale companies CEZ Electro, Energo-Pro and EVN are

ongoing. CEZ Group is convinced there is no reason for license revocation. European Commission, acting through Energy Commissioner G. Oettinger, expressed concern over the

initiated proceedings and called on Bulgaria again to respect the energy regulatory office’s independence and EU rules in the energy sector.1.

ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION Based on preliminary data (ČEPS data, ČEZ & EGÚ Brno estimates), electricity consumption

decreased by approx. 4% y-o-y in Czech Rep. in Q1 2014; the most important effect was weather with above-average temperatures. Temperature-adjusted electricity consumption indicates stagnation.

WHOLESALE MARKET Wholesale electricity prices on the European market continue to decrease slightly; at the moment,

electricity price at EEX is around EUR 34/MWh (CAL 15 – 2015 baseload) On Mar 12, 2014, the process of backloading (temporary removal of a portion of allowances from the

emission trading system) was started; a total of 400 million tons of emission allowances should be removed from the system during 2014; the EUA price on the market stagnates at around EUR 5/t

CEZ GROUP GENERATION For the whole of 2014, we expect nuclear plant production to be over 30 TWh again and the

production of Czech coal-fired plants to be at the same level as in 2013 in spite of the divestment of Chvaletice Power Plant Abroad we expect a slight increase in production due to higher demand for supplies from our coal-

fired plant in Varna, Bulgaria In Romania, there was a sharp drop in green certificate prices from around RON 200/pc in December

2013 (EUR 44/pc) to around RON 131/pc (EUR 29/pc) in March 2014, which is the statutory minimum permissible price of green certificates; at the same time, the quota for electricity generation from RESs in 2014 dropped to 11.1% (from the previous statutory quota of 15%)
