About location

Temelín has served as an agricultural settlement in South Bohemia since the Middle Ages. The municipality lies in rolling countryside near the Vltava River, in a region of fields, ponds and small historic communities. Its name is now closely associated with the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant, whose construction began in 1987. The station has two VVER-1000 pressurised-water reactors, connected to the grid in 2000 and 2002, while its cooling towers are a prominent feature of this part of Czechia. The older settlement remains distinct from the energy complex, joining a rural South Bohemian setting with one of the country’s principal sources of electricity.
