The project, located 25 km northwest of Prague, is a 343 MWe power generating station. The plant is modern and is capable of providing approximately 3 % of the Czech Republic's total electricity demand. The facility consists of 2 new circulating fluidized bed combustors that burn both bituminous black coal and lignite based brown coal from the Czech Republic. Additionally there is a 67 MWe natural gas fired combined cycle gas turbine and an upgraded 28 MWe heating plant. The electrical energy is predominantly sold to STE, the Central Bohemian distribution company, who is also an 11 % partner in the project. The heat supplies from the project are provided to the city of Kladno.
