CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Project-level coal details

  • Coal source(s): Ostrava-Karviná Mines

Background

The Detmarovice power station is a black coal-fired power station owned and operated by the CEZ Group. It consists of four 200 MW subcritical units commissioned in 1975-76. The power station was originally formed as part of the Ostrava-Karviná Power Stations; since 1990, it has been an independent organizational unit.[9]

Unit 1 (200 MW) was retired in 2019.[10]

In 2021 CEZ Group announced they would close all of the coal units at the end of the 2022-2023 heating season.[11] They plan to build 4 gas-fired cogeneration units of 45 MW each in its place.[12]

However, there have been no additional developments in the plans for the gas units, and discussions are taking place about using the coal site for a nuclear power plant instead.[13]
