The first plant was designed to use semi-anthracite coal imported from Ukraine by a purpose built wide-gauge rail line. Cooling water is supplied from the Zemplínska Šírava reservoir.[1][2] Its flue gas stack is 200 metres (656 ft) tall.

The second plant uses heavy fuel oil. Between 1979 and 1985 it was modernized to use also natural gas.[2] Its flue gas stack, which was completed in 1974, was originally 300 metres (984 ft) tall. In 1998, its height was reduced to 175 metres (574 ft).[3]
