Background
The Olomouc coal-fired power station was commissioned in 1952 by Veolia Ceska Republika As. It co-fires with biomass.[4]
As of April 2024, the power station was slated to cease burning coal in 2030.[5]
In October 2024, Veolia announced that the transition date would be brought forward, and Olomouc power station would cease burning coal in 2028.[6]
