EP Produzione, a subsidiary of Energetický a průmyslový holding (EPH), continues to show its strong commitment to supporting energy transition. Inaugurating a new 800 MW combined cycle unit underscores EPH’s dedication to leading the energy transition while delivering secure, efficient, and environmentally sustainable solutions. With an investment of approximately 400 million euro, this facility represents a cornerstone of EPH commitment to innovation and sustainability. It features advanced H-class gas turbine technology, providing exceptional efficiency exceeding 62% and a substantial reduction in CO₂ and NOx emissions. Its hydrogen-ready design positions the facility at the forefront of energy innovation.
The new unit brings the total capacity of the Tavazzano and Montanaso site to 1,970 MW, which is enough to supply power to approximately 1.5 million households. Its operational flexibility ensures the seamless integration of renewable energy sources while maintaining grid stability, underscoring its vital role in Italy’s energy security.
” We reaffirm our role as one of the leaders in the energy transition. This achievement reflects EPH’s vision and our unwavering support for Italy’s ambitious decarbonization journey providing the needed flexibility to the power generation mix. We remain dedicated to investing in innovative projects that shape a sustainable and secure energy future,” said Peter Černák, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EP Produzione and Member of the Board of Directors of EPH.
Alongside the Tavazzano power plant, EPH is investing in an additional H-class CCGT power plant Ostiglia, set for commissioning in the first half of 2026, as well as 270MW battery energy storage systems, while also exploring other transformative projects in Italy. These initiatives align with the Group’s overarching mission of delivering sustainable, efficient, and reliable energy solutions.
