Czech Republic Power Report Q4 2010: New research report available at Fast Market Research

Oct. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- The new Czech Republic Power Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 3.16% of Central and Eastern European (CEE) regional power generation by 2014, and will remain a net exporter of electricity to neighbouring states. CEE power generation in 2010 will have been an estimated 2,581 terawatt hours (TWh), representing a recovery of 2.3% from the previous year. We are forecasting a rise in regional generation to 2,936TWh by 2014, representing a rise of 13.8% during the period 2010-2014.

CEE thermal power generation in 2010 was around 1,294TWh, accounting for 50.1% of the total electricity supplied in the region. Our forecast for 2014 is 1,441TWh, implying 11.4% growth that reduces only slightly the market share of thermal generation to 49.1% - in spite of environmental concerns promoting renewables, hydro-electricity and nuclear generation. The Czech Republic's thermal generation in 2010 is an estimated 54.1TWh, or 4.18% of the regional total. By 2014, the country is expected to account for 3.90% of thermal generation.

For the Czech Republic, gas in 2009 accounted for 18.6% of PED, with coal at 39.8%, nuclear energy at 15.5%, and oil having a 24.4% share of PED. Hydro-electricity and renewables represent the remainder of the energy pie. Regional energy demand is forecast to reach 1,472mn toe by 2014, representing 13.5% growth over the period 2010-2014. The Czech Republic's estimated 2010 market share of 3.12% is set to be around 3.07% by 2014. The Czech Republic in 2010 will have accounted for an estimated 7.85% of regional nuclear energy consumption, with its share down to 7.11% by 2014.

In BMI's updated Business Environment Ratings, the Czech Republic ranks last behind Ukraine out of the nine CEE states as a result of its limited market size, modest growth prospects, relatively high level of energy import dependence, moderate progress towards the use of renewables, and underwhelming privatisation trend. Country risk factors offset some of the industry weakness, but the country seems destined to remain near the bottom of the table for the foreseeable future.

BMI forecasts that real Czech GDP growth will average 3.3% a year during 2010-2014, with an increase of 2.2% assumed in 2010. The population is expected to rise to around 10.6mn, and GDP per capita and electricity consumption per capita are forecast to increase 35% and 9% respectively between 2010 and 2014. The country's power consumption is expected to rise from an estimated 63.6TWh in 2010 to 70.0TWh by the end of the forecast period, while theoretical surplus capacity is expected to rise from an estimated 18.8TWh in 2009 to 22.8TWh in 2014, assuming 2.8% average annual growth in power generation between 2010 and 2014.

Between 2010 and 2019, we are forecasting an increase in Czech electricity generation of 25.0%, which is the second slowest projected growth rate for the CEE region. This equates to 11.1% in the 2014-2019 period, down from 12.6% in 2010-2014. PED growth is set to ease from 11.7% in 2010-2014 to 10.1% in 2014-2019, representing an increase of 22.9% for the entire forecast period. An increase of 200% in hydro-power use during 2010-2019 is a key element of generation growth, with nuclear usage up by 27%. Thermal power generation is forecast to rise by just 3% between 2010 and 2019. More detailed long-term forecasts can be found towards the end of this report.
