Czech Republic Power Report Q4 2009

The new Czech Republic Power Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 3.20% of Central and Eastern European (CEE) regional power generation by 2013, and will remain a net exporter of electricity to neighbouring states. CEE power generation in 2008 was 2,610 terawatt hours (TWh), representing an increase of 1.35% over the previous year. We are forecasting a rise in regional generation to 2,884TWh by 2013, representing an increase of 10.51%. Thermal power generation in 2008 was around 1,342TWh, accounting for 51.42% of the total electricity supplied in the region. Our forecast for 2013 is 1,384TWh, implying 3.11% growth that reduces only slightly the market share of thermal generation to 47.99% ??
