The second plant burns heavy fuel oil . Between 1979 and 1985 it was modernized and rebuilt so that natural gas can also be used. The chimney, which was completed in 1974, was until 1998 the tallest chimney in Slovakia with a height of 300 meters next to the chimney of the Nováky power plant . In 1998, its height was reduced to 175 meters to reduce cross-border air pollution .
