CEZ to consider the inclusion of a strategic partner in the completion of Temelín
CEZ Energy intends to consider the possibility of a strategic partnership in the completion of the Temelín Nuclear Power Station. It is usual in Europe that nuclear projects are built and subsequently operated by consortiums of several companies; the French EdF, several times larger than CEZ, is also implementing the Flamanville project in a consortium with Enel. CEZ has received bids from several interested parties and, since a partnership sounds logical, CEZ has decided to select the potential partner in a transparent tender. Given the fact that the selection of a supplier for the completion of Temelín is carried out pursuant to the Public Contract Act and that the information in this public contract is highly confidential, the partnership will probably be formed after the contract with the selected supplier is signed, which is expected to happen in 2013.
