Background

Trebovice power station began operating in 1964, and is owned by Veolia Ceska Republika AS.[3]

As of June 2024, Trebovice power station was in discussion for possible retirement by 2030.[4]

As of April 2026, Veolia was reportedly considering replacing the coal as a fuel source at the plant. A combined cycle power plant would potentially provide 70 percent of the energy mix, and waste heat from the city's wastewater treatment plant would provide the remaining thirty percent.[5]
