Unit 1 is in operation at planned power. At Unit 2, the operators are currently performing a week lasting series of core physics tests. After its completion, they will synchronize the Unit to the distribution grid.

Units 1,2,3,4 are operated at full rated power. All auxiliary systems are working in accordance with operational needs of units. Electricity production since the beginning of operation: 264 272 940 MWh.

The growth was influenced by historically highest production, increase in electricity sales, cost economies under the integration of CEZ Group and foreign acquisitions, the year-on-year contribution of which almost trebled. Stronger exchange rate of the koruna had a positive effect as well. While revenues were growing, operating expenses costs were successfully kept under control.

Unit 1 is in operation at planned power. At Unit 2, the technicians interrupted the series of physics tests in order to perform re-tightening of valves in the venting line of the steam generator No. 3 feedwater system.
