The impact will reflect development of European regulation and of energy market as well as internal measures of CEZ Group in Financial values for 2013 reflect the current recalculation of previous periods in accordance with the IFRS (especially 3 reclassification of CEZ Energo from subsidiary to joint venture).

5 UNCERTAINTY IN THE ENERGY SECTOR CONTINUES Reform of EU ETS and setting of rules of European energy market remain in the center of the attention of CEZ Group. In March, the European Council postponed its decision on mandatory targets for 2030 until the end of European parliament elections, limited mandate of outgoing European Commission and priority of setting EU s stance on development in Ukraine are the reasons. The Commission's climate package legislation proposal can be expected in H at the earliest. For European energy companies, this means prolonging a situation in which it is virtually impossible to make or plan any major investments. Representatives of Europe s leading energy companies met up with Czech Prime Minister on April 8. The Czech government and the energy companies take similar positions on major issues: A mandatory, complementary RES share target may pose a threat to the security of electricity supplies A technology-neutral approach and free competition are preferred Renewables should no longer be supported artificially but must compete on the free market; support should be limited to research in the area of new technologies only 4 RES Renewable energy sources EU ETS European Union Emissions Trading System

6 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PROCEEDINGS TO CHOOSE THE EPC SUPPLIER, WITHIN THE PROJECT OF CONSTRUCTION OF TEMELIN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT S NEW UNITS, WERE CANCELED Preparations for the authorization and licensing process continue (Ministry of the Environment, State Office for Nuclear Safety) Decision on the project execution date has been postponed until these two conditions are met: Accordance with the Czech Republic s final approved national energy strategy is confirmed Elementary requirements for achieving a positive return on invested funds are satisfied The requirements for the project s feasibility are not fulfilled at the moment. On Apr 9, the Czech government adopted a resolution saying it is not planning to provide any guarantee or stabilization mechanism for the construction of low-carbon facilities at the moment. It also declared interest in further development of nuclear energy in the Czech Rep., promising to prepare a comprehensive plan for this area by the end of On Apr 10, 2014, CEZ cancelled the RFP proceedings for new units construction (EPC contractor selection) and, at the same time, confirmed that preparation of the project as such is going forward. 5 EPC Engineering Procurement Construction

8 CZECH REPUBLIC: SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER 1. WE PROTECT THE VALUE OF EXISTING BUSINESS Nuclear Power Plants Dukovany As part of LTO six partial projects were finished. Their aim was to strengthen supporting structures, to increase seismic resistance and strengthen cooling systems Mar 13, the first Station Blackout drill ever at all 4 units confirmed the power plant s readiness Mar 24 27, labor inspection audit, the power plant confirmed its Safe Enterprise status Conventional Power Plants Work on the ecologization of generating units at the Počerady, Dětmarovice and Mělník I power plants was started (reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions up to 60%) Successful pressure test of Unit 23 at the Prunéřov II Power Plant (3 x 250 MW) under the comprehensive refurbishment project First boiler ignition at the Ledvice new plant (660 MW) on Mar 28 Second part of comprehensive testing, including work on gas turbine commissioning, is under way at the Počerady CCGT plant Hydro power plants Kamýk Overhaul continues by fitting the stator of generator TG1; the innovations increase efficiency by 5.5% Generators in the Kamýk hydro plant s turbine building Heating ČEZ Teplárenská The central heating system for Ledvice Town became Project of the Year 2013 reducing the volume of dust by 7.5 t/year End-user prices of heat decreased by up to 6% after takeover of Teplo Klášterec 7 LTO Long Term Operation

29 ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND WHOLESALE MARKET REFLECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY REGULATION IN EUROPE ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION Based on preliminary data (ČEPS data, ČEZ & EGÚ Brno estimates), electricity consumption decreased by approx. 4% y-o-y in Czech Rep. in Q1 2014; the most important effect was weather with above-average temperatures. Temperature-adjusted electricity consumption indicates stagnation. WHOLESALE MARKET Wholesale electricity prices on the European market continue to decrease slightly; at the moment, electricity price at EEX is around EUR 34/MWh (CAL baseload) On Mar 12, 2014, the process of backloading (temporary removal of a portion of allowances from the emission trading system) was started; a total of 400 million tons of emission allowances should be removed from the system during 2014; the EUA price on the market stagnates at around EUR 5/t CEZ GROUP GENERATION For the whole of 2014, we expect nuclear plant production to be over 30 TWh again and the production of Czech coal-fired plants to be at the same level as in 2013 in spite of the divestment of Chvaletice Power Plant Abroad we expect a slight increase in production due to higher demand for supplies from our coalfired plant in Varna, Bulgaria In Romania, there was a sharp drop in green certificate prices from around RON 200/pc in December 2013 (EUR 44/pc) to around RON 131/pc (EUR 29/pc) in March 2014, which is the statutory minimum permissible price of green certificates; at the same time, the quota for electricity generation from RESs in 2014 dropped to 11.1% (from the previous statutory quota of 15%) 28
