CEZ: Czech power group CEZ <> supervisory board
member Martin Riman said the total value of CO2 emissions
originally earmarked to be given to firms for free after 2013 is
40 billion crowns ($2.30 billion). The government has now
decided to sell them to raise means for offsetting a steep rise
on power prices next year due to a generous renewable energy
subsidy. Some estimates said the value was up to 100 billion.
Riman also said the supervisory board agreed on Wednesday to
postpone discussion about a potential delay in the expansion of
the Temelin power plant until Nov 25.
