The K1 - Kotelna is a key infrastructure asset in Czech Republic's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the ČEZ Group, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2010, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Czech Republic, K1 - Kotelna occupies the #8 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Czech Republic's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 2,159 MW. The largest operational gas installation in Czech Republic is the Počerady with an output of 840 MW, making the K1 - Kotelna approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Czech Republic's aggregate generation capacity of 33,961 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of gas power plants (modeled at 40% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Czech Republic consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 49.1762° latitude and 16.5762° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Dukonavy (nuclear, 2,040 MW), Dukovany Nuclear Power Station (nuclear, 1,878 MW), FVE Brno-Tuřany (solar, 212 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Czech Republic.
