CEZ’s divestiture offer is being market tested

By  |  July 10, 2012

The European Commission is market testing CEZ’s offer to divest one or two of its plants in the Czech Republic. The Commission is asking for comments from interested parties. The CEZ is hoping to end the EU probe into possible anticompetitive practices in the domestic wholesale market. The Commission is particularly concerned with whether CEZ built up excess capacity.

Possible plants to be sold include the 1,000-megawatt Pocerady station, the 800-megawatt Chvaletice plant, the Detmarovice plant, or the Tisova plant with the Melnik 3 station. The stations would be sold to Czech Coal or EPH, an energy investment group.
