Polycrystalline samples from the REOFeAs system were studied by means of electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power in temperature range 5-300K. All investigated compounds undergo a magnetic and a structural phase transition around 150K, which lead to profound anomalies in electrical, thermal and thermoelectric properties. We present the influence of substituting rare earth elements for La ion on the low temperature thermopower data. We discuss also the strong impact of magnetic field (B = 14T) on thermoelectric properties.
