1. A new power plant is located southwest of the village of Komorany (N51/F12) in
the angle formed by the Komoraxry Most and Komorany Erveniee railway tracks. On
the north and northeast the power plant reaches to the Komorany-Ervenice railway
line. The southeast boundary is marked by the Kom.orany-Chomutov railroad track.
The eastern side begins about 300-400 meters west of the point where these two
tracks meet. Length of the site from west to east is 500 meters; its width from
north to south 300 meters.
2. Construction data: Foundations were laid during the last war and building was
resumed after the war. The first boiler was put into operation in March 1951.
When completed, the power plant should have a total of 5 boilers and by 1954 all
of them are supposed to be operating. The building of the power plant was carried
out by the following firms:
a. Energostav
b. PBS (Prvni brnenska strojirna Klement Gottwald-First Brno Machinery Works)
supplied high-pressure pipes and boilers and assembled them.
c. V.I. Lenin Works, Pilsen (Skoda), assembled generators.
d. Electrical Installation Plant, Prague (Elektromontazni zavody;Praha--EZ),
engaged in fitting power-distribution points of 100 KV and 6 KV capacity and
of other auxiliary distribution points.
e. Electrical Installation Plant, Teplice (Elektromontazni zavody Teplice-EZ)
carried out electrical. installations, fitted lines and cables.
3. Description of the Power Plant: The main building is 350 meters west of the junc-
tion of the two railroad tracks, about 150 meters from the Komorany-Holesice-
Chomutov line. This building is of steel-reinforced concrete, rectangular,

sabotage occurred which ptut it out of operation several times.
The power'-plant is probably the largest in Northern Bohemia. Building is not
yet eleted and it is to be expanded further south. At present it has 5
boilers, brut-more will probably be installed later. The Ervenice Power Plant
which was expanded in 1949 is still unable to cover the needs of this industrial
region. The Komorany and Ervenice plants will probably be connected to save
building new high-tension lines. The Ko oraruy power plant is equipped for
