The Prunéřov Power Stations are the largest fossil power station complex in the Czech Republic, with installed capacity of 1,490 megawatts (MW). They are situated on the western edge of the North-Bohemian brown coal basin near the town of Chomutov. They consist of two power stations.<ref name=cez>[http://www.cez.cz/en/power-plants-and-environment/coal-fired-power-plants/cr/prunerov.html "The Prunerov Power Stations,"] CEZ Group, accessed May 2014.</ref>
The Prunéřov I Power Station, the older of the two, began operations between 1967 and 1968. It consisted of six 110 MW units. Between 1987 and 1992, four of these units underwent extensive reconstruction, and the remaining two units were decommissioned during the capacity phasing-out program in the early 1990s.<ref name=cez/>
