Alpiq Generation operates a state-of-the-art electricity and heat cogeneration facility in Kladno, the biggest city in the Middle Bohemian Region.

Power generation - 415 MWe

The Alpiq Generation (CZ)  power station complex in Kladno, 25 km northwest from Prague, supports Alpiq's trading and sales activities in the Czech Republic. Alpiq acquired the complex of 4 power station units in 2002. Coal is the primary fuel and it is transformed by state-of-the-art technology into electrical and steam energy outputs. Efficient exhaust gas purification equipment reduces emission figures: environmental protection and clean air were key factors in the construction design. 3 of the 4 plants have been designed for electricity production with a steam draw-off. Since 2008 biomass as a renewable source of energy is co-burned with biomass in the boilers of Elektrarna Kladno I.

The power plant, which is run by Alpiq Generatation, complies with the strict environmental standards in both the Czech Republic and EU. Its gross electrical output reaches 415 MWe, and as such, it is one of the largest independent electricity and heat producers in the Czech Republic.

The power station in Kladno has five generating blocks (B3, B4, B5, B6 and B8), shared facilities, and a power and heat distribution network.

Power plant technology is located on 2 different sites – „Elektrárna Kladno I“ in Kladno Dubi and „Elektrárna Kladno II“ in Kladno Drin.
