The Melnik Power Station

Power Plant Melnik, out of all the CEZ production facilities, is the nearest to the capital of Prague - it is situated, approximately, about 13 km below the Elbe and Vltava River confluent. Formerly, it consisted of three technology units (EME I, EME II, EME III), constructed in stages between the end of 60's and the end of 70's, as a system of condensing power plants burning brown coal transported by trains from both North Bohemia and West Bohemia mines. In October 1993, EME I was detached from CEZ, a.s. and its ownership transferred under Melnik-Praha joint stock company (its current name is Energotrans, a.s.).
