(Latest state of play)
       Oct 7 - The following table lists reductions in scheduled production at German hard
coal-fired power generation plants that have been necessitated by low water levels hampering
barge shipments of feedstock to the sites and logistics bottlenecks across transport systems,
that are now fast-tracking energy supply. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2ZG0L1 urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N3002HV
    Utility companies have been flagging problems about shallow water under rules of play set by
the power exchange EEX, where they released the information in the ad hoc section and on related
transparency sites, where plant data are presented long-term, reflecting all operational
planning details and incidents.
    The water problems have eased somewhat but could worsen again. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N30916L
