CoalCzech RepublicCzech Republic

Trebovice power station is a 177 MW coal power station in Czech Republic, Czech Republic. It is operated by Veolia Ceska Republika AS. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 221,502 homes (estimated). It ranks #20 of 472 Czech Republic power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1994, it is around 32 years old — long-established. In context, coal supplies about 35.2% of Czech Republic's electricity; the national grid averages 401 gCO₂/kWh (59.2% low-carbon) (2025).

~775,260 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

180,713passenger cars driven for a year
101,103homes' yearly energy use
12,921,000tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

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 49.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 40% 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: 75/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
