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.[11]
Unit 1 (200 MW) was retired in 2019.[12]
In 2021, CEZ Group announced they would close all of the coal units at the end of the 2022-2023 heating season.[13] They plan to build 4 gas-fired cogeneration units of 45 MW each in its place.[14] However, there were no additional developments in the plans for the gas units, and discussions were taking place about using the coal site for a nuclear power plant instead.[15]
As of April 2024, the units would at least run through the 2024/25 heating season. Small gas and biomass units were in development.[16]
As of November 2024, construction of the gas and biomass facilities was underway.[17]
As of June 2025, the coal-fired units at Detmarovice power station were shut down.[18]
