Unit 6 of coal-fired power plant Sostanj, operated by energy company HSE, will be reconnected to the electricity network in early December, following a month and a half long downtime. The unit was offline due to the company’s efforts to save fuel for the winter season.
The 600 MW unit was offline since mid-October due to issues with coal supply from the nearby Velenje coalmine. Initially, it was planned that the unit will be out of operation until 2 November, but the restart of production was later postponed in order to save coal.
