Modernisation and well-timed maintenance outages led electricity production at the two-unit Temelín nuclear power station in the South Bohemian region of the Czech Republic to record highs so far this year, state utility company ČEZ said.
The company confirmed that since the beginning of the year the facility had hit a high of 16.5 TWh of electricity, surpassing the previous record of 16.48 TWh in 2017. It said that with no planned outages 17 TWh could be reached by the end of the year.
So far, the two units have produced enough electricity to supply every household in the country for 12 months.
