    Aug 30 (Reuters) - 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. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2ZG0L1 urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2ZG0L1
    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 later this week. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N2ZR1PR
