Hydroelectric power station / Hydropower

All of the huge hydroelectric energy programs, except the Dalešice, Mohelno and Dlouhé Stráně hydroelectric energy stations, tend to be situated at the Vltava River where they form a cascade system labeled as the Vltava Cascade.

Ability of these power stations presents more than 17 per cent associated with complete downloaded capacity of ČEZ, a. s.

They have an important power-producing, water-system as well as ecological significance. While they are very resourceful, they do not load environment by any waste and represent an inexpensive resource of electric energy that is used namely in the peak-load periods. Moreover, pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations also enable purposeful use of electricity being produced by a less flexible energy resources in the low consumption periods.
