Lower demand for steam and hot water during summer months enables the heating plant staff to perform a range of maintenance tasks on the plant equipment and inspections of machines. Thanks to the variability of production equipment in the heating plant in Planá nad Lužnicí it is possible plan outages in such a way that supplies of steam and hot water to industrial plants and households do not have to be interrupted.
The summer outage of the TG3 turbine will take place between 1st August 2016 – 16th August 2016. Beside necessary maintenance tasks, the output from TG3 will be switched to a new outlet via the 10,5 kV substation which will extend the flexibility of the plant´s production equipment configuration.
C-Energy plans to pull down the old, disused, concrete cooling towers (37 meters tall) which will be a significant change in the panorama of the Planá industrial zone. This is to take place in autumn 2016.
The former locotractor garage is being repaired now and will be used as a guard house, workshop and warehouse. In the following years the company plans to modernize and repair the office building and other buildings on the premises.
