Thereby, CEZ has acquired the property share of approximately 99.98 % in Skawina in which it purchased the majority share (75 %) in May 2006 from the American concern PSEG. The installed capacity of the bituminous coal-fired power plant Skawina amounts to 490 MW. Within the scope of combined electricity and heat generation, the power plant supplies the city of Skawina and the western part of Cracow with heat and hot water.

"We have been interested in the state share in Skawina for a long time and so we are glad that we have agreed with the Polish state on the price acceptable for both the parties," said Martin Roman, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of CEZ.

In addition to Skawina, the CEZ Group owns another bituminous coal-fired power plant in Poland, namely Elcho with the capacity of 238 MW.
