Today, in the headquarters of CEZ, a. s., the Information Meeting of company representatives with candidates qualified in procurement procedure of public contract: "Completion of the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant".

Prunéřov – Nongovernmental organisations systematically argue about the planned complex refurbishment of the Prunéřov II Power Plant with their half-truths or untruths. It is not the truth that the prepared modernisation will damage environment in North Bohemia. It is not the truth that ČEZ wants to install obsolete technologies. The contrary is the case, the fictive option promoted by nongovernmental organisations is infeasible in reality not just in technical and economic aspect but also in terms of ecology.

Prunéřov – Continually repeating declaration of ecological activists and similar people regarding the planned complex refurbishment of the Prunéřov II power plant is full of fallacious statements. For example it is not truth that ČEZ wants to erect “old scrap” corresponding with the technical level of last millennium and especially everything that is somehow related to the planned increase of efficiency of the power plant after its refurbishment. ČEZ also acts upon the valid legislation of the Czech Republic and legal regulations of the European Union. Because it is not possible to do otherwise.

Energy company CEZ has opened the public tender for the purpose of selection of a contractor of two nuclear units designed for Temelin location. CEZ has published its announcement concerning opening the public tender on the information server providing a list of public tenders in the Czech Republic and the same announcement is expected to be published on the all-European web site as well. Apart from the requirement for delivery of two new nuclear units, the public tender includes a requirement for unilateral options for the benefit of CEZ regarding construction of up to 3 more nuclear units in other potential locations within Europe.
