Vojany Power Plant

Vojany Power Plant is a thermal generating facility that burns coal and natural gas to produce electricity for the region. The station uses an engineered cooling water system connected to a nearby reservoir to manage heat dissipation.

Construction of the first units began in 1961 and led to operation starting in 1966. A second phase followed in 1973 and 1974 with additional generating units.

The plant shapes the region's identity as an industrial hub and provides employment for many local residents from the surrounding area. It remains connected to the economic character of the Michalovce district and supports the area's infrastructure.

The site sits next to an expanded waterway that serves as a cooling source for the station while also providing resources to nearby communities. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active industrial facility where access may be restricted to certain areas.

For many years the facility received specialized coal imports from Ukraine transported on a specially built wide-gauge railway line. This infrastructure shows how power generation was intricately linked to regional transport networks.
