CoalJihoceskyCzech RepublicEngineCO₂ modelled
Plana Nad Luznici power station is a 60 MW coal power plant in Jihocesky, Czech Republic. It is operated by C-Energy Bohemia sro. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 75k homes (estimated). It ranks #45 of 481 Czech Republic power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2014, it is around 12 years old — relatively modern. Its modelled annual emissions are 64,814 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 15k cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 35.2% of Czech Republic's electricity; the national grid averages 401 gCO₂/kWh (59.2% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 60 MW, Plana Nad Luznici power station is below the median coal plant in Czech Republic (165 MW). Technically it is described as Engine. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.

Local climate & thermal context
This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 49.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 47% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 78/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
