A heat distribution system for the Sokolov region was built at the same time. At the end of 1997, an additional 50 MW will be phased out. The power station annually produces about 1.5 TWhrs of electricity and about 2,500 TJ of heat. Po .The power station burns brown coal transported directly by belt conveyers from the coal separating station of the neighboring open pit mine of the Sokolov Mining Company. The water for the power station comes from the Oh e River.
Bunker fuel is used to start the boilers.
The boilers share a common water and steam network. The six feed pumps are powered by electric motors. The first fluidized-bed boiler was built by V tkovice in 1995. The second boiler is supplied by the German firm LLB Lurgi Lentjes Babcock Energietechnik GmbH, and it will be completed by the end of 1997. Bunker fuel is used to start the boiler.
