Brown coal is fired at most fossil power plants.
The North Bohemian fossil power plants are situated in direct neighbourhood of brown coal mines. Within the framework of the programme, we have installed the total of 28 desulphurisation plants and 7 fluidised-bed boilers at out power plants. Moreover, ash precipitators have been reconstructed and power plant control systems have been modernised. The overall investment in modernisation and desulphurisation of fossil power plants amounted to CZK 46 billion. Our power plants are thus currently fully comparable to similar sources anywhere in Europe.
