Teplárna Písek is starting a project to build a gas-fired cogeneration unit (GCHP). It will enable highly efficient combined production of electricity and heat. It will enable the heating plant to optimise operating costs, ensure reliable coverage of energy needs and also significantly reduce emissions, especially CO₂. This is an investment of CZK 180 million and a significant project in the modernisation of the Czech heating industry. Construction is just beginning and will be completed in May next year. The cogeneration unit from Brno-based GENTEC CHP will significantly help the Písek heating plant to get rid of its dependence on coal.
