The plant is located in the town of Zlin in the south-east of the Czech Republic. It produces and delivers electrical energy, processing heat and district heating and has an electrical capacity of 66 MW and a thermal capacity of 377 MW.

Alpiq acquired the thermal power plant at the end of 2005 from US energy group Cinergy. The primarily coal-fired power plant went on-stream in 1996 and 2001 and meets all current environmental and safety requirements. For example, it is ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 18001 certified and complies with rigorous standards governing workplace safety, environmental management and process safety. Electricity and processing heat is generated for industrial organisations, and district heating for parts of the surrounding agglomeration.
