The Temelín nuclear power station in the Czech Republic has exceeded its annual production target of 16 TWh for the second year in succession, state power company ČEZ said.

The 16.1 TWh of electricity generated by the facility in 2023 represents the third highest production since the first of the station’s two VVER V-320 pressurised water reactor units started up in 2000 before Unit 1 began commercial operation in 2002, ČEZ said.

Total nuclear generation in the Czech Republic in 2023 was 30.4 TWh of electricity, with the country’s other commercial nuclear station, the four-unit Dukovany, contributing 14.3 TWh.
