Overview
Meeting regulations for the largest utility in Central and Eastern Europe
The challenge
Amid evolving environmental regulations and growing air quality concerns, ČEZ Group—the largest utility in Central and Eastern Europe—demonstrated its commitment to reducing emissions through an advanced boiler modernization project involving two steam power plants in the Czech Republic.
The solution
GE applied primary and secondary NOx reduction measures on the boilers in 10 cross-fleet units—representing a combined 1,130 megawatts (MW) of electricity generating capacity at ČEZ’s Počerady and ČEZ subsidiary Energotrans a. s.’ Mělník I steam power plants.

The upgrade solutions reduced the power plants’ nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 60%, enabling the stations to supply power and heat to households and industries in compliance with EU emissions standards.
