The Regional Court in \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem delivered an interim injunction today, ordering Czech Coal to supply brown coal to Elektr\u00e1rny Opatovice (EOP) to the full extent under the contract in place throughout 2013.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cThe court\u2019s decision is good news primarily for all our customers, as it means that reliable and secure heat supply has been ensured for them for next year,\u201d said Jan \u0160pringl, Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors of EP\u00a0ENERGY. \u201cWe believe that this is yet another confirmation that Czech Coal\u2019s interruption of coal supply was illegal. We expect Czech Coal to abide by the court\u2019s decision and to continue supplying the coal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
EOP considers Czech Coal\u2019s rescission of the contract to be illegal and the reasons cited by that company to be misleading, irrelevant and unacceptable. EOP is firmly convinced that regular court proceedings on the issue of contract rescission will also show that Czech Coal was not in a\u00a0position to take such a\u00a0radical step. In accordance with an interim injunction delivered in June this year, Elektr\u00e1rny Opatovice brought a\u00a0legal action before the Regional Court in \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem for performance under the coal supply contract and for compensation of the loss sustained.<\/p>\n
ELEKTR\u00c1RNY OPATOVICE is part of the EP\u00a0ENERGY group. With its available electrical capacity of 363 MWe and a\u00a0total thermal capacity of 932 MWt, it is one of the leading energy suppliers in the Czech Republic. EOP supplies thermal energy for more than 60,000 homes in the Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9 \u2013 Pardubice \u2013 Chrudim region and also for several hundred customers operating industrial, administration, commercial, sports, health, and cultural facilities. In 2012, EOP also supplies heat to customers at one of the lowest prices in the Czech Republic, which is approximately one-quarter lower than the national average price of heat produced from brown coal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
