Ecologization and renovation of the heating plant in Planá nad Lužnicí – In June and July the implementation of the project continued with the construction of the new coal boiler K6, which is the last part of the project. Its pressure parts are expected to be completed in August; subsequently a pressure test will be performed, and afterwards works will continue with the installation of electrical equipment, metering instruments and insulation. In September 2015 the first start-up and operating tests are planned. Landscaping works and street construction were in progress around the completed parts of the project. Read more information about the project in Planá nad Lužnicí in section PLANA PROJECT. Photographs from the construction process are available in the PHOTOGALLERY.

Reconstruction of TG3 is about to be completed. The final assembly of the turbine has started; the equipment will be commissioned at the beginning of September. An official pressure test of the new high pressure steam pipeline where steam from the new boilers will be evacuated was successful.  Photographs from the project of TG3 removation are available in the PHOTOGALLERY.

The project of renovation of the heat distribution system will be completed in September. Losses will be reduced thanks to new dimensions of pipelines which suit the current needs of customers better and thanks to the use of modern pre-insulated pipeline technologies; most buildings will now be heated with the use of hot water not steam, which is less economical.

The last part of the Dust suppression project was completed and handed over at the end of July. Dust from the coal pile will be reduced by a new telescopic sleeve used in the process of unloading coal from conveyors and also by a new fog cannon. Photographs are available in the PHOTOGALLERY.

C-Energy will supply steam, hot water and electricity to the production and storage hall of Compact 3 which is being built in the immediate vicinity of the heating plant and will be operated by Silon s.r.o.
